Raffaellos place is exactly as advertised and as long as you can negotiate the narrow streets is 3 mins from St. Marco, but surely this is half the fun in this beautiful city. It was the cleanest BnB we have had so far and good security. There are two flights of stairs so may be difficult with heavy suitcases. Raffaello wasn't there, but his young assistant met us at water bus stop and was more than helpful in every respect. Lives next door so very handy in case of emergency. Highly recommend and value for the price.
