The location is the best part of the property, followed by the beautiful courtyard garden - especially if you have glorious weather as we did in May. Paolo and his team were great guests, efficient in the check-in (we were very late to arrive - after midnight) and responsive to all our questions and requests. It is a bit pricey given the dated decor and facilities of the actual apartment - but it does retain its original old school Venetian feel. And central Venice 3 minutes walk from San Marco square is always going to be a bit expensive.
