I think some of the reviews on here don’t do this place justice. The windows open right onto the river (it’s on the ground floor) so you can relax whilst watching gondolas drift by. It’s perfect! The room is very well equipped with rustic touches and in a quiet location despite not being far from all the essential sights. I would recommend avoiding restaurants around St. Mark’s Square etc and heading for food around the accommodation as there are some excellent places to be found where you can eat like a local. Yes this place is relatively basic but if you want tasteful no frills accommodation at a good price then stay here!
