We stayed at Roberto's place from Friday till Monday and we really enjoyed it.

We arrived very late, 00:30, but Roberto came to the waterbus station nonetheless, to pick us up, so we would not get lost late at night.

Roberto's place is around 20 min walking distance from the touristic San Marco area. The water bus station is 2 min away, which takes 10 min to San Marco. The area around Roberto's place is very quiet. When booking the place, I was not sure, if its a good idea to book something in Castello, as it''s not in the Center. In the end, we were really happy about this. Venice and especially San Marco is super touristic and crowded, so its very nice to walk back along the pier after a long day of sight seeing and enjoy some the calm time.

The room was very tidy and clean and the sheets got changed very day. The breakfast was simple, but good.

I would recommend everyone to stay at Roberto's beautiful and authentic place instead of spending a lot of money on an expensive but low quality hotel. Its better to use that money for a nice dinner or some drinks ;)
