Great location in Venice. In a city that can be completely overrun with dense mobs of tourists, the location on a narrow quiet calle in a quiet residential neighborhood near the Arsenale is a wonderful opportunity to stay in and experience the true Venice as the locals know it - a lovely, quiet, serene and sublimely beautiful place where time stands still. As a native Venetian, Ricardo gave us some great tips on our of the way spots on lesser know islands in the Venetian lagoon, like Torcello, to visit.
