One of the most beautiful spaces I've stayed in while travelling Italy. Located in one of the few sestieri left in Venice for actual Venetians, it's residential: laundry hanging from lines across lanes, away from the full noise of tourist Venice. The whole place gets extraordinary light through the classic Venetian windows, and it's immaculately clean. His friend Oxana met me at the waterbus stop and walked me, and collected the city tax. Walking distance to everything you want to see, and a slice of peace to return to.
There's also a wicked wine bar that specializes in natural wine nearby Vino Vero: have a glass of wine while sitting with your feet over the canal.
