This is where you want to stay without any question! You are close to everything you want to be but secluded enough that you can enjoy the true Venezia culture. Our hostess was delightful and kind-- we were welcomed with open arms. She provided us with cookies (biscuits), wine and water. The apartment was spacious and offers stunning views, the neighborhood was very safe all night long! There is a small local vendor down the walk way (delightful older couple) where you can purchase snacks, chips, beverages and small market item essentials. We ate at the Iguana (Mexican-- local college students) one night late and enjoyed their roasted chicken, chicken burrito and guacamole. Upon arrival we enjoyed the Italian restaurant below our apartment Tratoria (can't remember the rest)-- fresh and affordable $10 Euros a piece. We ate affordably,by day,at Quanto Basta-- pizza by the slice and delicious chicken gyro's. I fell in love with Venice and there is no place we would ever stay. My husband and I also delighted in a local Italian restaurant just over a bridge-- they have a vine covered patio which was very romantic at night. We indulged in the handmade pasta-- gnocchi as well as tagatelle with bolgonese. Clearly by my review you will not go hungry and this location is great as it is surrounded by great eats! Avoid the over priced underwhelming hotels and stay here. I am very particular about where I stay and the apartment is immaculate and THE perfect experience we were looking for. With the beautiful light fixtures, early 19th century furnishings and unforgettable views we are sure your stay will be as delightful as ours was.
