This was an excellent choice for Venice as it is located in a quieter spot away from most of the crowds. That said, it was easy and convenient to walk to all the major attractions, there is a vaparetto stop nearby, a gondola-style ferry, and some really good restaurants close at hand. We chose to walk from the train station--about 16 minutes through a quiet, residential area. Mario was an amazing host. Unfortunately our departure schedule did not allow us to meet Esmeralda. The hosts asked our preferences for croissant flavors and fillings at check-in and picked them up fresh for us for breakfast the next morning. Some rooms share a bathroom with one other room, as ours did, and some have their own, so be sure to check if this concerns you. Honestly, this was not a difficult situation at all as the house is small with only a few guests at a time.The home was recently updated and very comfortable. Most bedrooms are up one flight of stairs (the norm for Venice), and very convenient. Wonderful hosts, comfortable, clean home, good location. It's hard to find any fault here. Enjoy it!
