The place is on a busy street in a convenient location right in the middle of everything. It's near a vaporetto stop and you can walk from the train station in about 20 minutes. It is a private house with 3 floors, which seems very unique and special. It is decorated in a traditional style with artwork and books in the living room, which gives it a cosy atmosphere. There is a washing machine in the bathroom and an air conditioner on the second floor. The place is very clean. We were there at a busy and hot time of year and noticed a stagnant water smell in the entryway that came and went, but I think it's just Venice. If you open the window it goes away. The hosts are easy to communicate with and met us when we checked in. We really liked the Cannaregio neighborhood to the north because you can get away from the massive crowds found in other parts of Venice. Walk a few blocks away and you are in a lovely quiet area with good restaurants.
