Absolutely loved staying here. I had already been in Europe a week, and this was the first time I was able to get a full night of sleep thanks to the relative quiet and the air conditioner making the room a comfortable temperature. I loved having my morning espresso on the beautiful balcony off of the bedroom. The sunsets and thunderstorms were also incredible from there. The room felt a bit like a museum and I enjoyed some time with a few of the books. It was a very comfortable place to be and I didn’t feel guilty for not being out and about early in the morning, as I felt the room was part of my experience.
As a solo traveler, Antonio made me feel like I had a friend and that I would have help with anything should I have a problem. I couldn’t eat some of the breakfast provided so he asked what I would like instead and had that waiting for me the next day. He is funny, kind, very responsive, and gives very detailed instructions on how to get around town. This was only my second time staying with a host in their home and upon meeting Antonio, I was so glad I chose this option over a hotel.
The location is a very convenient from the Guglie boat stop, should you choose to arrive from San Marco Airport that way. The neighborhood is lovely and not overwhelmed with tourists. I would say to bring an eye mask if you are sensitive to light, but that is an easy fix. Stay here!
