Great to be in Venice itself. Communication with the host was not great seeing that the lady who met us said we cannot reach her for most of our stay but we did not end up needing her. There is laundry but there is a charge. Make sure you get the room with an attached private bathroom. The walls are thin to the common room but we did not have a problem. Great that we could leave our bags after Check out. Overall, nice place and a good value compared to the area. The area was safe and very quiet.
