Beautiful place to stay in Venice. Location is about 5-7 minutes from the water taxi drop off area. Plenty of restaurants, markets, & shopping very close to the property. Property is protected behind 1 locked gate, & 2 locked doors before 1 flight of stairs. Felt very safe staying here. The upper patio is very spacious and beautiful. Very clean property, with many amenities. Beds are on the firm side, plenty of storage space for storing clothing, shoes, etc. Property owner is very helpful and always responsive when needed. Would recommend staying here if visiting Venice.
