Steve and Helga's backyard studio was just lovely and super comfortable. I got there with some time to spare so I laid out on one of their lawn chairs and read in the sun, listening to the fountain in the background.

I was pretty busy during my trip but every interaction I had with Steve and Helga was very pleasant and they even mailed me back a shirt that I forgot in the room! Also they had stocked the fridge with a few bagels and some delicious nectarines!

The back room was the same price as a crappy near by hotel room and I have no doubt that i made the right choice. Not sure if I will have need for a Venice studio again, but if I do. . . I will be here!
