Very close to center (once finding location -not problem of host, trying to find the street signs on the building), but great location. Place very clean, as pictured. Close to many restaurants. And close/easy access to cruise ship port. Place was very clean. Definately would recommend to anyone, and would stay there again next time in Venice. Great price compared to hotel rates in the area. Unfortunatley, was only there for 1 night (caught cruise ship next day). Easy communication with Paola-quick response always. Paola informed us how to catch people mover to cruise ship (very easy). Also, we used the pull out sleep sofa (full size bed). Paola made sure to have the sofa bed made up and ready (only 2 pple in my group-but needed the sleep sofa). Place was great. The outside patio area was great for my friend who is a smoker. Great host, Great place, great value for the money. Easy access inside the place once Paola was aware we arrived.
