Monica's place was perfect for me. I loved watching the boats from my window. I even witnessed a marriage proposal on one of those boats! The room was immaculate and spacious. I loved having my own bathroom. The rooms are very secure and can be locked. Every morning, I would awake to a fresh breakfast prepared by either Monica or Anna. The building itself was nice with a little garden along the way. Shops, transportation, food, were only steps away. I am a solo female traveler and felt very safe in my area and Venice as a whole. I would highly suggest this for solo travelers as well as couples and friends. I am also a big lover of art. I was only minutes away from galleries, operas, and a water bus away from the islands of Murano and Burano.
