Casa Scarpa is located in a quiet neighborhood, close to many amenities such as a vaporetto stop, a large grocery store, a couple good restaurants, and some of the best canal views in Venice (even the ones from the windows!) Mirko is a very attentive host, who patiently waited for us when we were late arriving, and immediately responded to our communications. The large space fit our needs of a family of four - our teenage boys appreciated each having their own bedrooms with an adjoining bathroom. It was hot during our stay, so we appreciated the air conditioning however it was less affective on the top two floors of the three. Keeping the shutters closed helped keep the space cooler. It was nice to hang out on the large, private garden patio. Overall, Casa Scarpa is what I imagine to be typical of Venice - a quirky, old space that takes a little getting used to and required detailed instructions upon arrival. With three floors and no bathroom on the first floor, it's important to be comfortable climbing a lot of stairs. The Wifi is based on the first floor so it doesn't work in one of the rooms on the top floor. And there was an issue with the dryer causing the power to go out several times our first night there - luckily it was so hot that hanging the clothes out dried them as quickly as a dryer would! The kitchen and bathrooms are quite small, and there are no doors on the rooms. All of this made the space a bit less comfortable for us, however as I said before, these are probably typical aspects of the quirky Venice architecture.
