Absolutely wonderful. Overall amazing experience. Even more than we expected. We received a text from Alessandra with very detailed instructions on how to get to the B&B from the train station (about 25 minutes by Water Bus) and then how to get into the building and into our room. When we got into Venice, the city had shut down the Grand Canal for the Regatta so we had to walk. It was about 25 minutes, but we had to cross a few bridges (which means quite a few stairs), but totally doable.

*The space is very clean, tidy, and bright. The WiFi is fast. The map provided is a serious lifesaver as it's kind of a process to figure out how the Water Bus lines work. The communal kitchen is stocked with snacks, beverages, and a Nespresso machine, and there's a personal mini-fridge in the room. Francesca was there for breakfast every morning (juice, coffee/espresso, fruit, yogurt, pastries). She is quite lovely, very helpful, and gave us advice where to go and how to get there. Our room was cleaned every day.

*The area is fantastic. Shops, restaurants, bakeries all right there. It's easy to walk to pretty much anywhere on the island, but it's kind of confusing so make sure that you have GPS access. The water bus stop is literally a block away, and is one of the major hubs so it's easy to get really anywhere else.

*Helpful things: 1. The walls between rooms are kind of thin; not obnoxiously thin, but if you exist loudly, just be aware that your neighbor will probably hear you. 2. The shower doesn't have a place to put toiletries. Seriously not a big deal, but if you have one of the suction cup soap dish thingys, you might want to bring it with you. 3. The bed and pillows were pretty firm, but this seemed pretty standard across Italy.

*Helpful Water Bus info: 1. When you exit the train station, it's easier to go to the automatic kiosk than to stand in line for the teller window to get your Water Taxi ticket. If you plan on walking for the majority of your stay, get the single ticket (€7,50 for 75minutes). If not, there are 1 day, 2 day, etc. unlimited passes starting at €20. 2. Lines 4.1/5.1 travel counter-clockwise, and 4.2/5.2 travel clockwise. This little gem will save you so much time! 3. Use the paper map to plan your trips (way better than anything you'll find online...believe me), but downloaded the app Moovit (free) which has the transit map and schedule.

*Unsolicited Venice suggestion: If you have the opportunity, take the Water Bus out to Lido and hit the beach. We also rented bicycles (€9 for the day) and rode down the coast to the end of the island and played a round at the golf course. Beautiful, safe ride.

*We will definitely stay here again, and highly recommend that you do, too!
