Great location! Short walk (with just one bridge crossing) from S. Silvestro vaporetto station. Awesome coffee/pastry shop and a Co-op grocery really close by (on the way to the vaporetto stop). Large square if you have kids that want to run around right on the block. And of course great restaurants all around.
Items to note:
- Not necessary but if you have prior service in the Navy it will be helpful in navigating the steep steps/ladder to the patio. I'm only half joking. They advise you to descend backwards on it for a reason. That said it is quite a different experience to spend time up there looking out over the rooftops of Venice but it does also involve climbing through a half window to get onto it, so don't expect to open a sliding patio door off the back room and walk out onto the patio; rather it's a bit of a climb and a crawl to make your way up there.
- This may change in the future but the A/Cs are portable units and it is tough to fully seal up the exhaust vents so they are working against a partially open window (which also let in some bugs). In fairness we were there during the heatwave (104F heat index) and the units were helpful but not quite up to the task in their current setup.
