I could not have had a better time in Venice. The room is small but perfectly equipped. The neighborhood away from the touristy spots (as much as you can get away from them, given that everything is within walking distance) is quiet, pleasant and convenient to the Vaporetto stops. A friendly and competent Ida met me and helped with all that was needed upon arrival. Antonio's recommendations of shops and restaurants made the first days easy as well. His description of the rental are accurate, no false promises here. I would come back any time, particularly since I felt safe as a woman traveling alone, both in the house and the neighborhood.
