This was a great place to stay while visiting Venice. Monica is a poised, intelligent and friendly host. She did a great job in helping to customize ideas for us to enjoy the city for our short stay. I really, really enjoyed the location of this place, it was a nice distance from the touristed, crowded areas but not too far away. There was a bit of noise from the canal one of the nights we were there. I would stay here again, but may book one of the non-view rooms as they seem more insulated from noise and heat. Still, It was a pleasure to stay in a "real" part of Venice and Monica's style as a host was perfect. Highly recommend.
