Like staying at Nonna’s place: original art, antique furniture, Murano glass chandeliers ( don’t swing from them). Roberto meets you at the vaporetto stop and guides you over the cobblestones and two bridges to the little calle that ends at the Grand Canal. I suppose all the ground floors of Venice have been flooded many times, so they never lose that nostalgic mildewy scent, but you just pass through that up to the next floor and the lovely flat.
