Riccardos place was in a great location. Felt like it was right between Rialto and Saint Mark’s square but very private. You can see a gondolier station from the balcony and a view of the smaller canals. Riccardo let us drop our bags off early which was very nice. There is some restoration going on at the building next door which deters from the view a little bit, but it did not effect our stay in any way. If you want a quiet place to stay in Venice that is in the middle of everything this is a great option.
