Great stay, really close to Venice. A short train or bus ride to get to the island. The home is a bit chilly when its cold outside, so not so good for wimps that can't stand a little cold :-D The furniture is a bit vintage but in pretty good condition and really gives one the feeling that they are visiting in old Venetian times. The bed was pretty comfortable and surprisingly quite for the vintage look it gives. Carlo is a very open person and gave very good tips for getting around Venice. And he can make very good homemade Salame al Cioccolato. Overall worth a stay if you want to escape the more expensive prices of Venice. Around the corner we found a reeeeeaaaally awesome place to brunch called "Brunch" (go figure) and the stores in that area are not so expensive and Carlo has all the necessary stuff to cook in the kitchen and space to store foods during the stay. If I ever come to visit Venice again, I would book here again.
