Summary: great place to stay in Venice

Detail: arriving and access was easy -- the hosts or their assistants seem to be there all the time. Although our Italian language skills were feeble, interaction with the cleaner (via an Italian-English ipad app) who let us in was fine -- great attitude! The hosts are moderate polyglots (we overheard good conversation in English, French and German) and very attentive to their guests.

The room we had was small, but extremely clean, and matched the photos, and the bed was perfectly comfortable. Breakfast was more than ample, and they made good provision for one of us who avoids wheat gluten, and (September) was very pleasant on an open veranda on the roof. Location was very central, yet about 200m off one of the main tourist paths.
