If you're looking for the right place to experience Venice for the first time, then look no further. Nico's family is more than welcoming, generous and sincere. There is a lovely breakfast, with views of the city and fresh air. The views look exactly as pictured, as the rooms are situated above a quiet square in a wonderful part of Venice. Other locations are full of street vendors hawking knockoff purses and selfie-sticks. This is a quiet and residential neighborhood, yet right across the bridge from a great spot to hang out and people watch. If you do stay over here, be sure to check out the church next door... amazing art inside with no crowds at all. Finally, when we were in Italy it was very hot. It was nice to be able to sleep with AC... provided here. Overall the best room experience we had in Italy. Well worth the visit.
