We loved staying at this location. You are close enough to the main sights but when you want to get away you can explore the Castello district where there were significantly fewer people. The square near the house was a great place to sit and chat after dinner without the giant crowds. We used the washer several times, it had a quick 30 minute cycle. Although there was no dryer-we were able to air dry all of our clothes quickly. It was summer. We felt like true Venetians.
