What can I say except WOW!!!! Roberto is an absolutely incredible host. He is extremely organized and helpful. His place is beautiful with awesome history right over the top of a bakery. Great air condition, WiFi, a washer, clotheslines, a moka pot, full kitchen, anything you need. He also left a bunch of travel books, recommendations, and a phrase book for us and croissants for breakfast. You can open up the windows and look out over the bustling crowd. Staying there makes you feel like you're living the real life of a Venetian. The only caution I would have to anyone is that you could get woken up in the morning by people setting up shop since the streets are always busy. That being said, this area is nowhere near as busy as other areas so I imagine that would be a problem anywhere in Venice. Bottom line is you must stay here if you want a great Venice experience.
