Signora Da Rin was the sweetest host! She set out an elegant breakfast each morning and took care of us like family. Our arrival was a little on the later side, but instead of grumbling about it, she said "You must be hungry. You should go eat!" and sent us out with recommendations for restaurants in the neighborhood that serve late. Our last day in town was my birthday, and at breakfast she surprised us with cake and a candle! How kind! (I suppose she noticed my birth date on my passport?) The room was comfortable and the location nicely out of the hubbub of the more densely trafficked parts of Venice (but of course you can still easily walk anywhere you want to go; Venice is not a huge place).
