What an amazing place! It combines old world charm with modern convenience. High ceilings, ornate light fixtures, a bookcase that opens up as a secret door…One of the bedrooms has two small balconies, each one just big enough to set up a chair and watch the gondolas pass by. Both bathrooms are completely modern and updated. The air-conditioning kept the entire place cool and comfortable in the August heat. The Wi-fi worked without a hitch. We used the spacious kitchen quite a bit to eat breakfast and heat up left overs. Location is very convenient. It was a nice walk to San Marco and Rialto. Also close to a water taxi stop (Ca D'Oro). Alice was super friendly and responsive by both text and email. She was out of town when we arrived in Venice, so her husband met us (on time!) and showed us the house. He was very nice and recommended a great pizza place for us. We felt very lucky to be able to stay at such a beautiful, unique place.
