The home is perfect - we were in Venice for the Biennale, and were a little worried that it might be too far for us. but in the end, it was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet, and beautiful, and only about 7 minutes to the water taxi stop. There are many wonderful cafes and restaurants close by. The home itself is lovely and impressively spacious for Venice. The garden in the back is also perfect - a good way to get away from the bustle of the city. I will definitely be coming back to this house next time I am in Venice.
