The room was a perfect base in the heart of Venice - no need for trains or busses or ferries - just walking along canals and getting lost in alleyways, the best way to see Venice. The host communicated everything we needed to know really well and we had no trouble finding the place from the train station. She even lent us umbrellas for a rainy evening. The room was clean and adjacent to a quiet courtyard. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was pretty spacious although it was a normal small European shower crammed next to the toilet - but hot water is all we needed and it delivered.
