I would recommend staying at this place at any time. Alda and Evelyn welcome to me like family. I do not speak a lick of Italian and I was able to communicate thoroughly with them. This is a very prominent location very close to the station. I felt very safe and I was able to walk to many restaurants and locations throughout Venice. Alda is the sweetest lady that you will meet in all of Venice. I did not speak any Italian but I was able to communicate with her through Google translate and she is adorable.
