Location location location. Everything about Thomas’s place is as advertised or better. Great value and great authentic feel. Quiet and cozy and cool, thanks to the AC. At Thomas’s suggestion (he had lots of great ones), we parked at the ferry (Fusina) hopped on and were dropped off (after an amazing visual introduction to Venice) literally 3 min from our place. We dropped off our stuff and started walking and “got lost” in Venice. The Dorsoduro part of Venice is a little more quiet with better selection of less expensive little restaurants but very close to everything. We walked everywhere and then took the #1 for a cheap boat ride up the Grand Canal. Don’t hesitate. Book this place and enjoy!
