Arianna and her team were warm and welcoming. They accommodated my request to arrive earlier than the normal check in, and promptly (immediately!) responded to any requests I had. They treated me more as a friend than a tourist.
The room was just as pictured. What is not in the picture is the very nice, updated bathroom. The room appears to have newer curtains and furniture. It is simple, very clean and very comfortable.
The neighborhood was very safe. As a woman traveling alone, I was worried about walking back from concerts alone; however, there were always people about on the main streets and the immediately surrounding neighborhood was very quiet. I never had a moment's concern about safety.
If I am fortunate enough to return to Venice, I would definitely stay with Arianna again.
