The location was awesome. 8 minutes from the train station and super close to a lot of little shops and restaurants. It was a little ways out of the more touristy area of Venice which was refreshing. Something we did not anticipate about being so close to all the canals is that there are mosquitos everywhere. With no AC, we would open the windows to try to let in some air, but it would only bring in mosquitos. So, we would recommend to bring bug spray or to come when the temperature is a little more moderate in Venice.
