Since these apartments are in a touristy area of Venice, we were expecting very small rooms; however, that was not the case. We had two rooms, one for us parents and one for our two boys. Our room was quite spacious, with a sitting area and breakfast table inside the room in addition to the common sitting area and kitchen. Gianni was very accommodating, meeting us at the B&B within 10 minutes of a phone call even though we were some 2 hours late due to a train malfunction. We were also able to leave our bags after checkout while we explored the city.

The location is great unless you are looking for something far away from the tourist areas. I have to say though, even after multiple trips to this city, even with the throngs of tourists, even with the illegal street vendors and cheesy tourist cafes, there is something magic about strolling through Piazza San Marcos at night, and this B&B is just a few minutes walk away.

I definitely agree with the other reviewer that you should be sure to get directions. It's Venice and things are often tough to find.

As an aside, we asked for a recommendation for dinner and Gianni pointed to the restaurant across the street for seafood and risotto. The food was amazing (risotto with shrimp and pumpkin -- yes, pumpkin -- was perfetto, and I refuse to eat pumpkin under normal circumstances). Unfortunately, the price was also amazing (not in a good way), so look at the menu before committing to eat there.
