The location was great for what we were looking for-a quick walk to many restaurants, shopping, tours, and landmarks. Be aware that check-in is limited hours and there are many stairs to climb with no elevator for luggage. The room is basic, but we were happy with our accommodations.

The location was great. The lady that checked us in gave us great restaurants that were run by long time Italians so we got the true experience. Pub next door with locals was a great place to meet people and learn more about Venice.

A hidden guest house in the historic centre of Venice. Quiet and peaceful despite being located 2+ floors above a busy street of bars and shops. Welcoming host who explained house rules clearly and was available in an emergency. Fridge and coffee maker were especially welcome, as was the air conditioning. There is a good convenience store nearby. Overall, a valuable mid-point between a budget hotel and an independent apartment rental. Closing the door onto the street and walking through the shade of the building's courtyard really felt like living in Venice. Some rooms have bathrooms shared between two bedrooms (ideal for families travelling together); my 'superior room' was ensuite, which as a solo traveller I welcomed.

While we had a good stay, the property is more run down than the photos suggest. It is a great location, and the basics are provided for. The bathroom is in a separate room to the bedroom. Pierro was very helpful. Venice is an amazing place and we were glad to be able to visit. Overall a great time was had.

Excellent area close to shopping and eating. However, the stairs were too much. I’ve read responses from other reviews that people from the US don’t walk enough but seriously there are some of us who have health concerns or walking issues, and your information doesn’t state up front that there are over 50 steep steps to our room. No problem with check in. Room was clean. AC didn’t work. Our fridge didn’t cool. And the last night and next morning our internet quit.

The hotel is on the third floor, no elevator, 51 steps up. Its a little noisy in the mornings and evening with loud closing doors and people talking. If you need more towels than they give you have to pay for them. The owner is nice. He gave us several tips on where to eat and shop.
