A spartan but nice place with lots of nightlife all around the place. Plenty close access to the Grand Canal and the entrance to the island and into the core area.
Giacomo and his wife were very accommodating and prompt to respond and provided us with local knowledge and suggestions.
We arrived after significant rains and the smell on entering the building was significant, but once up on the 3rd floor / flat it was negligible the first night and nonexistent the second.
A good bargain and nice hosts!
