Gabriele's place was fantastic. It's cute and quaint with a lot of charm. It's convenient to anything and everything you could want to do in Venice, but is in a nice quiet area. Gabriele gave us good directions from the train station, and had Anna meet us and get us settled, including great restaurant recommendations. The WiFi was a little fussy and slow, but we didn't really travel to Venice to waste time surfing the Internet, so it was good enough to check email and make travel plans.
Overall, I loved this little place and would definitely stay again.
