Nina was most charming, welcoming and helpful when I arrived. She offered some good advice as to where to eat and gave me a very helpful map of Venice which indicated useful details such as the whereabouts of the nearest supermarket etc. Although this was the only time we met, her sister, Lydia, was around most mornings and was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions I had. My only criticism was the so called breakfast which comprised of pre-packeted cakes, biscuits and buns which did not make an altogether appetising or healthy start to the day. Nina explained that this was due to local government regulations that all B&B food had to be pre-packed and so free from any direct handling. However, the coffee was quite nice and there was a reasonably sized fridge with plenty of cold water and room to store your own food if you wished to do so. I believe the room would have been a bit small for two people but for me it was adequate and I had a comfortable stay.
