Absolutely fabulous place. It is really right beside the canal and you can just sit inside and feel like you are in the bar on the other side of the canal, or watch the boats go by - there is a lot of traffic on this canal and quite a few gondolas. The rooms are spacious, the kitchen is fully equipped, everything works well, and the host is really helpful, speaks perfect English and made everything possible. You are really in the heart of Venice, a few steps from everywhere and shopping opportunities (try the Despar in the converted Teatro Italia!). It is not very quiet due to a bar opposite that is open until 1, but the windows are tight and the A/C works perfectly. It would have been nice if the iron gate to the canal could also have been fully opened, but the windows do open fully so it's not really an issue.
