The owner's mother greeted us, even though we were quite late arriving due to travel problems, and couldn't have been more gracious!

The set up is romantic, cozy, just as described, and the location, on a quiet street just off a canal, and less than 5 mins walk to either St Mark's or the Rialto, was about as good as it gets.

Great location, great value and we felt almost like native Venetians. If it had a grand view, it would be 5 stars; just 4.5 without!
