this was a very cool place to stay in venice, with the gondolas and music and singing passing by. it was also very quiet during the night. the area wasn't very busy and was so close to everything. it was also very easy to get to from the airport. the alilaguna stop is like a 5 min walk or less. we arrived in venice at night and I was worried about looking for the apt but roberto gave very clear directions from the airport. he is also very good at replying very quickly and he gave tips and recommendations. this is a really cool place. it may be small but worth the price. you will also have to climb a short, yet steep and small stairs to the loft bedroom so I don't recommend if you have problems with balance.
