The room was lovely with large windows with views of Venice rooftops (and much appreciated black-out shutters), and a comfy bed. The area is a great place to stay, calm and quiet away from the hoards, but still very well connected, a short walk to the famous areas, and some nice little restaurants/cafes nearby.

Claudio made us feel very welcome and gave us plenty of tips on where to go and the best ways to get between places. We also met Masa briefly, who was also very helpful.

The only downside was that we thought we would be getting the hosts as housemates during the stay, but instead all rooms including the living room were rented out. But perhaps I misunderstood the listing regarding the hosts living there. Not a big issue though, as obviously we spent most of our time exploring anyway.

Happy to reccommend this place! Great value and location in Venice.
