We LOVED this place. Exactly as pictured: Clean, cute and cozy. Our bedroom had a corner canal view, and loved it. Was really easy to get here from the airport. A 30-minute water taxi ride to Orto, and then an easy and safe 10 minute walk from the ferry to this place. Our favorite part about his place was the LOCATION. If you want to stay somewhere quiet, but not too far away from the action (about a 15-20 minute walk to the Grand Canal), this is the spot! The area is called Cannaregio. There is little to no tourist foot traffic in this area. Super safe, and only a 5 minute walk to great little cafes. Not 1 minute from his house is a terrific little Osteria called, Osteria l’orto dei mori. There is a communal sitting room where you can prepare espresso and have some light snacks (little treats on a small plate are readily available - like little pastries or slices of pound cake). This sitting area has a lovely view of the canal, too.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The only downside is Giusy can take a few days to reply to your messages, but he does eventually get back to you! I would definitely recommend!
