Tommaso and his family are great people. Since we arrived they were always very welcoming. Communication was not an issue since they all speak English. They were always available and ready to help. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit Venice. The location is walking distance to the tram that takes to Venice. The neighborhood always felt safe. During our stay there was a public transportation strike and we had to walk to the station because there were no taxis available. Just heads up if you hear anything about bus strikes reserve a taxi ahead of time.
