This place is wonderful. You can tell if you're looking at the photos that it's beautiful - the kitchen is bright and spacious, the patio is lovely, and of course the painted ceiling and beams (some original, some by Linda). What you can't see from the photos is the hospitality - Linda truly went above and beyond. Her advice and information (including Google maps we could access as we walked around) and help getting to / from the train station and airport really made our lives so much easier. We were in Venice during a very busy time, and even though this place is close to the sheer madness of the Rialto / San Marco area, the street is quiet, and more relaxed neighborhoods are a short walk away as long as you walk in the right direction. I have no reservations recommending this place, it was perfect.
