Anyone who misses this neighborhood during their visit to Venice hasn't really seen the "real" Venice. Get away from all of the tourist shops by the train station entrance and around Rialto as quickly as you can and book a stay for this room in this historic and authentic neighborhood. The room is comfortable and clean with beautiful views and so much local life right outside the door. The best cappuccino that we had in Italy during our two weeks was in this neighborhood (Torrefazione) and the restaurant that Giusy recommended was also excellent with such fun energy and true Venetian seafood (Paradiso Perduto). We can't wait to spend more time in Venice during our next visit to Italy and would certainly stay here again. Highly recommended!
