We visit Venice every 5-6 months and have stayed at many different properties. We enjoyed this one because of the price (very affordable considering what you get), the location (in a true Venetian, quiet neighborhood) and the amenities (great shower, comfy bed, useful kitchenette and ample lounging area). The location in particular was a huge draw - you really get the sense of what life is like living in Venice since it's a bit of a walk from St Mark's Square. That was VERY attractive to us, given how busy the city was when we visited. All in all, excellent experience.
