Truly a wonderful location and a great host! Nikita was so responsive with all our communications-- you could not have asked for a better host! Both he and his mother were so pleasant and the room was delightful! The location is wonderful—nearby St. Mark’s (but steps away from all the hustle and bustle of tourists). Our room was huge—probably the largest we had on our entire trip! Nikita has done an outstanding job of remodeling---everything was so comfortable!
Just a note to future visitors: The location is actually only a minute from St. Marks-but our Google could not “find” our exact location in Venice—it took us on a circular route for 20 minutes. (If I had known, I would have accessed Google directions using the Basilica as my starting point before we arrived). In the end, we bought a map (and several restaurant owners/vendors kept pointing us in the right direction.) Unlike the US, I discovered street numbers do NOT go in chronological order on both sides of the streets. For instance, one side of the street could be using “500 numbers” while the other side was using “400 numbers). (Nikita would have found us if we called-but we did not have a reasonable cell plan for calls.)
