Location, location, location! such a great spot everything was a quick walk away. Rialto bridge was so close as long as you don't go down the wrong alley. On the way there from the airport we got a taxi to terminal 40 euro flat rate plus water bus to Rialto 12 euro per person. on the way back we walked to the other side and took the ferry strait to the airport 16 euro per person, live and learn. The place is roomy kind of a strange layout bed, bathroom kitchen, room with two chairs with window yo canal but we never really went past the bathroom. perfect for sleeping and being out all day. 2 gates before the door so felt safe, and first floor so didn't have to carry luggage up stairs. big plus after hauling them up and down the roads and bridges. no television, very quiet except for the scaping bed when you get in and out of it. Overall good place to stay in central location.
