Old, rustic, hippy looking , antique looking, centrally located, very close to the water taxis, easily connected to San Marco and other areas. Issues with the bottom entrance lock which apparently they are okay to live with (I was locked out many times), hit and try works in trying to open it; Internet does NOT work in the room, you have to go outside in the living room to use it which was not very convenient, also it gets loud early in the morning because people start working on water taxis at 4am (I think), if you are a light sleeper it might be hard for you to sleep because you can hear a lot of noise from nearby apartments, there are mosquitoes so please carry spray with you. Anna does have mosquito repellent in the room. About 15 stairs to carry the luggage and no elevator. Other than that, it was great staying in Venice. Anna is a great host, friendly, kind, helpful and very sweet. She allowed me to come in early, met me near the church because I was lost, she also let me check out later at 12noon because my train was not until 2pm. She also helped me so I could do laundry. Her place is centrally located in a nice happening area near the museum and restaurants.
