Dominque's place was very convenient. We were a party of 6 and fit comfortably. There was plenty of hot water for all of us to shower with (which we had trouble elsewhere). To get to the the living room you have to walk about three floors up which was tiring (but we knew this beforehand). Just be prepared or pack lightly. I felt bad for my boyfriend since he pretty much helped my mom and aunts move all their luggages up (this was after a 9 day cruise so there was a lot). Checkin and checkout was smooth and simple. It was great that we could leave our luggages in the lobby of the building when we arrived early and when we checked out at 10am and got to explore Venice more before our train at 3pm.
