We stayed in this suite from July 26-29th, and while it was a lovely neighbourhood with some interesting places to explore nearby, we did not find it convenient to visit main attractions in Venice. We had to spend extra time and money taking the water busses, which wasn’t pleasant in the extreme heat. The suite had adequate space for two couples, and the upstairs was air conditioned (but the a/c unit was in the hallway so you had to leave the bedroom doors open), but overall we did not feel inspired to stay in the space any longer than necessary. We would have preferred to pay a little extra and be closer to everything. As for check in, Agata (Maria’s assistant), met us on time and gave us a map on which she pointed out some excellent suggestions for what to see and where to eat while we were in Venice. We loved her suggestions.
