This home is a great choice if you are staying in Venice. We did a private water taxi that got us extremely close to the meeting point. We were able to check in with no problems and were greeted very warmly. There are five keys you use to get into the beautiful home. This made me feel extremely safe staying with my daughter. The area the home is located is beautiful and you are in the center of everything. It is a very short walk to Rialto and we even walked to the train station when we were leaving. The canals around the house are stunning and there are some gardens peaking over the walls from the view you have from the house. The courtyard you walk through to get to the house is manicured to perfection and is a nice quiet get away if you have spent the day in the touristy areas. The home is very clean and well kept. We had so much more space than we needed. The bathrooms are very clean and it was nice having two in case someone takes longer than the other. The beds were comfortable. My only regret is not being able to stay longer!
