Well.... I wish I could say this place was wonderful, because the owners were very nice people, but I feel I must be honest in order to give other travelers the correct view. Location was great- in quieter more residential Cannareggio neighborhood, about halfway between the Ca D' Oro vaporretro stop on the grand canal, and Fondamente Nove on the lagoon side. This is not, however the place for anyone who needs any kind of "hand-holding", such as suggestions on what to do, or activities. The owners interact very little with the guests. You will get no help with your luggage either, and there are 80! Steps up to the apartment. Breakfast is only croissants, toast, stale cereal, plain yoghurt, and tea or very bad coffee. No fresh fruit or meats and cheeses. While our room was spacious and comfortable, the bathroom was the opposite. I am not exaggerating when i say that you have to put the hot water on and go read a magazine before it warms up (warm not hot) to a degree possible to take a lukewarm shower in the dribble coming out of the nozzle. Impossible to do more than just get wet- hair washing out of the question. I truely dont have a clue why all the great reviews, except maybe people dont want to hurt the feelings of the really very sweet and well meaning owners.
