Carlo is a gem. And his property, which was immaculately clean, served our ten person family quite well. The suite is two flights up, 30 steps in a tight stairwell, but quite doable. This is Venice after all. The view from the second floor is mostly of the neighboring building. A window in the bedroom opened on a view of the alleyway and rooftops. We found this not objectionable at all. As I said earlier, this is Venice -- of the Venetians, not of the tourists. The third story bedroom housed six of our party quite comfortably. The view there is of tile rooftops -- a fun view for our group. We ate most of our meals in as the kitchen facilities were more than adequate to handle our needs. Thirty feet from our door, which is onto a narrow alleyway, the scenes of working Venice open up. It was a joy to us all. And we heartily recommend it to any and all looking for a unique experience in Venice.
