We loved the neighborhood, in fact we only left it once in three days. The crowds were a lot less than in tourist Venice. Michael, mark's farther was there to great us. The house was large, we felt it was better suited for families vs 3 couples do to the bedrooms being so different. The 3rd bedroom upstairs not that suitable do to the winding staircase, loft atmosphere and combo shower/toilet. We could not take luggage upstairs.
