Our host Frederica was very friendly and helpful and she made the check in/out simple. Our family of five including three teenage boys enjoyed the accommodation that although space was tight it was perfect for sleeping and resting during long days walking around Venice. The air conditioning was a welcome relief during very hot weather. The house is clean and provided with all the essential ammenities. The location was great with an easy 15 min walk to St. Marco and the front door is steps away from public transit (water bus). One tip if you can afford to splurge is to arrange a private water taxi to the airport when you leave...it's a great ride with lots of views of Venice from the canals and open water.
