If you want a place to stay in the heart of Venice with rooftop views of city, then this is your place! The entrance is at the end of a small alley. Quaint. Be prepared to walk up a few flights of stairs to the attic, but it's worth the effort. The attic with loft and small rooftop terrace are quite nice. We especially liked the full glass door leading to attic stair and the open wooden stair leading to attic. Also, Al is a responsive and effective communicator. Enjoyable stay! Highly recommend!
