Pros: Location can't be beat, you are right in the heart of Venice, walkable to everything and right next to waterbus station! There are lots of shops and restaurants right near you. Giacomo was very very friendly and accommodating to our arrival and departure times! He left out breakfast for us which was very nice. The air conditioning is good which is important when we went in the summer (it is in the master bedroom and outside the other bedroom with the single bed).
Cons: It is difficult to fit in the shower because there is a slope in the tub, and there was black mold on the shower curtain...you have to go up 4 flights of stairs because there is no elevator, but Giacomo offered to help carry the luggage. You can't really sit in the common area, and the kitchen chairs are uncomfortable, and the towels were a bit rough.
