This place is fantastic - the location is on a wide pedestrian street of shops and restaurants in a quiet part of town that is still old and beautiful. It's by the only green space (waterfront park) in Venice. I loved going running here, and the kids had plenty of space to let off steam (which can't be said for the rest of Venice!). The space is light and spacious, the kitchen is well stocked, there is a view of water from the beautiful patio. It was easy to get to, and we were met at the bus/boat stop by Leonila who was a valuable source of excellent tips and information. The only downside is that the loudest bar on the block is directly under the back bedrooms and there is a steady thump of bass until past midnight. If you have heavy sleepers or bring earplugs, it's workable, and probably worth it - the front bedroom and extra living room (we used as a bedroom with a very comfortable pull out couch) are much quieter. That was the only downside, if you can deal with that, this place was a dream for both adults and children. Great restaurant right next to the front door!
