We were in Venice for the Biennale Arte di Venezia 2015 - so the location couldn't have been more prefect. We like that this properly was away from the main touristy area, and that you can still experience the local lifestyle with a fruit/veggie vendor on a boat, a small seafood vendor on via Garibaldi, and a small Co-op supermarket where locals shop for groceries. The property is easily accessed by the vaporetto no. 5.1 and 6, which means you won't have to deal with the overcrowded no. 1.
The host was helpful with giving us directions from Santa Lucia train station and with facilitating the check-in process, making it a smooth one. The housekeeper was there to greet us and explain everything, even though she couldn't speak much English.
We had a group of 8 people traveling together and this property had enough space for every one.
The kitchen is well-equipped, and we really enjoyed cooking here. Some basic ingredients/spices can be found in the kitchen cupboard. The host also provided all sorts of cleaning supplies from laundry detergent, dish washing liquid to stove top cleaners!
We felt at home here and would recommend this place for a large family or a party of 6-8 people.
