Great and cosy place to start your discovery in Venice. We loved the neighbourhood, Cannaregio, very calm, beautiful and less touristy place. We found good places to eat, thanks to Anna-Maria's and Thomasos suggestions. Thomaso and Anna-Maria were most helpful in every way (the internet plug had some baulky days) were always there when we had questions and made us feel very welcome.
The mansarde is small, beautifully constructed and furnished, perfect for a couple. We had a baby with us, that made the sleeping arragements a bit difficult because there is no space left uptstairs for a baby cot apart from the two beds and we were afraid of the white sofa (:-)). Apart from that, we can very much recommend it to couples as well to families.
