The room was solid, all of the appliances worked properly, and it was a quiet environment to get some sleep. Pier was an excellent host, and he provided a number of helpful suggestions about how to navigate through Venice and places to go see. The place is about a 30 minute bus ride to the main Venice bus stop, but the buses come often both directions. There was coffee and tea available, plus some things set out in the morning to eat before heading out. I had a great experience staying there.
