Chris offers his unique place for those who seek peace and something different in terms of not your standard lodgings. I am a professor and an artists who had 15 students staying near by, and needed a place to sleep, but found Chris's kindness and place more than I had expected. I only stayed 2 nights, but was able to unwind and feel at home. His cat is super cute, and for me the location was perfect. The breakfast included homemade bread and marmalade made by Chris, simply delicious.! Venice is so crowded, taking the vaporetto was a short ride to Venice, and found I liked it better then if I would have stayed in the center. I would definitely return without my students, to enjoy more. Highly recommend this place.
