True to every review, this place was amazing. It is run like a laid back hotel, and everything was SPOTLESS. Best bathroom I've ever seen (and it is private for the double bed room--just outside in the hall). The area is quiet and very residential and not in the center of Venice tourist districts. Venice is small so we managed to get across the whole city multiple times simply on foot. Arianna's place is conveniently about 10 minutes from Venezia Santa Lucia train station. The only real downside was the last night we stayed another family checked in with two babies and when they woke up very early in the morning and were in the kitchen it was quite loud in our room.
