First, this place is in the heart of Venice and has an ideal location. Not far from postcard spots, like Piazza San Marco or Ponte Rialto. Second, although this is a BNB, it operate more like a hotel. There are individual rooms, but a common space with a balcony that overlooks the water. The actual room itself does NOT have a view. Either way, though, for the price during summer, this was worth it.
