We stayed with Alice and the location is great. You can walk to everything very easily and it is only a few minutes to the Rialto bridge. The space is very large with many rooms so everyone in my family had a lot of space to relax. We liked being able to open the windows and patio doors to see and hear the gondoliers singing and whistling as they took their clients down the canals. There is a washer but no dryer, although we quite liked having our clothes dried in the sun. Thank you Alice
