Definitely stay here if you're looking for a less expensive way to see Venice. Transportation to and from the island was easy, fast, and inexpensive thanks to all of Matteo's advice. He also gave advice on great restaurants that offer a fair price...all that we tried were fantastic and we're indeed fairly priced. His pick up service was awesome. He drove us all around and explained everything flawlessly so we didn't miss a moment trying to figure out the details.
