Like so many others, we SO enjoyed this wonderful place to stay. It felt so relaxed and refreshing after the tumult of Venice itself. We loved watching all the activity going on in the Grand Canal (which you can see both leaning out the windows or sitting on the kitchen chairs). The access to restaurants, bars, the great Co-op, and the Biennale was excellent. And such good value. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
