This is a good location for the price...it's a secure building about 10-15 minutes by bus to Venice. You can buy a 5 day bus pass for 6-euro or so. Zoia is a good hostess who made coffee and had yogurt out for me every morning; she also helped me get a cab for 4am the morning I had to leave. She speaks Italian and Russian, and has a lot of things to say about the US that were...interesting. The room is spacious, but if you leave the french door to the balcony open, you will be attacked by mosquitos.
