I stayed here several nights, and I'm happy with my choice. Guido is a kind man, who made a good effort to communicate with the English he knew. The price was right for a safe stay in the location I needed, cheaper than a hotel. I prefer to see the world through a local's home, with all its character. The square outside offers coffee, fresh fruits, food and bars. It stays lively late into the evening, so if you NEED quiet to sleep, you might want to bring earplugs. The shorter bed is more comfortable of the two. If it is your first time navigating Venice, bring a GPS with you to find your way around.
