Lolli was the perfect host, he even came to meet us at the Accademia ( as Venice addresses are not easy to find). He was friendly and we felt immediately at ease with him. The charming house, full of old character, is in a quiet alley but very close to shops,near a small canal and a wine bar. The pleasant room, on the first floor, has a comfortable double bed, wardrobe, and 2 windows with traditional wooden venetian shutters, exposed beams and a private bathroom in red marble with bath. We were also allowed to use the cooker and the fridge. It all added up to a lovely week end and when we return to Venice we will book with Lolli again.
