Claudio’s place was perfect! It’s just a few steps from Piazza San Marco, but with the windows closed it’s totally quiet. If you want to let the sounds of Venice in, open the windows and have a look down at the street below. It’s the perfect location and the interior is understated and elegant. The Netflix was a nice touch, too!
The one con was the mosquitos. Because we had the windows open sometimes, a few mosquitos got in and we got quite a few bites. This is probably a general issue in Venice, and a minor one, but I suggest bringing some kind of repellant.
Overall, we loved this place and we loved Venice!
