Ideal place!
Slightly secluded from the major tourist areas, but, a great walk to everything. Only thing is, it's a bit of a walk (plus bridges) if you arrive by train - but, that's only an issue if you are carrying heavy luggage. Giulio meet us at the station and helped with the bags -- he was awesome, and great at communicating.
On the way to the airport there is a very very close-by ferry, which is the actually the fastest way to get there - it was so easy.
The place is as everyone described it, better than the pictures and bigger... A beautiful old building with modern touched, large windows everywhere so great natural light. Quiet local neighborhood. Perfect.
