The small flat is located 5 minutes walk to Rialto Bridge - a very convenient place for accessing Venice, St. Mark's. the upscale shops and many restaurants. In comparison to similar budget B&B's it would probably not offer equivalent value. The average tourist may find the amenities (e.g. the convertible sofas / single beds, hand held shower, lack of Internet, and tourist information) rather basic - especially for a short-term stay of a week or less. Alberto, however, was happy to meet us from the Vaporetto, direct us to the flat, and provide us with tips on finding the local supermarkets.
