A lovely little house in a real Venetian neighbourhood - away from the tourist hordes, but still within easy walking distance to all the main sights. Good for food shopping: a 7-day Billa supermarket is very close by, and if you walk down to Campo Santa Sofia (just past the Ca' d'Oro vaporetto stop) you can get a traghetto over to the wonderful Rialto markets.

Lots of good bars and eating places along the canal right by the house - food at Bea Vita is great; Dodo Caffè is the archetypal locals' haunt, but still very friendly & welcoming.

Nicolò is a perfect host: quick to answer emails, clear instructions to our meeting point, and a lovely, friendly guided tour of the house and the local shops. Everything in the house works well: comfy bed, decent shower with plenty of hot water, good wifi signal. Strongly recommended!
