if you want to feel like you are a part of the Venice culture and life,this is your place. Fabio was delightful,helpful and fun to talk to. He speaks English well and able to direct you everywhere that is good to see,even printed out maps and boarding passes. Breakfast was in a cute kitchen area and had more than you need for a continental breakfast.great place great host. Area near Rialto but far enough away from chaos. Had a view of canal and right near water taxi. Great bakeries and restaurants all around. Even kosher! Bed and bath better than others we had on our trip. Especially for a 6'5 man
