  : The location was ideal for exploring Venice. The room was clean and tidy.
  : The communal bathroom was not ideal in the mornings, having to wait for your turn to use the facilities.

  : The B&B is in an excellent and safe location for San Marco Piazza and to waterbus stops on the lagoon. Only 5 minutes walk. About 10 minutes walk is the Rialto. The area is quiet but has lots of shops and restaurants. Feels like you are living as a local. Paula, the host, is very welcoming and was there when I checked in after 13.00 hours. The apartment is dark but very clean. It has a small courtyard with lovely plants. Good Italian coffee is served at breakfast from 8 to 10. I stayed for a week. Despite my reservations about a shared bathroom this was not a problem. There was hot water for showering, a bidet and all was clean. I am an early riser and so it was fine. There are 3 rooms for guests and its popular so be aware of demand for bathroom. As a solo traveller it was good to chat to other guests over breakfast. Paula was able to give good advice about visits and restaurants etc. she speaks French, Italian and English. The bed was firm but there were clean white sheets and towels. Good wifi. There is a cat called Houdini who comes in and out of the apartment which I enjoyed but some may not. I could return during the day and have a shower as it was hot. I enjoyed experiencing a more authentic stay. I had a haircut at the hairdressers at the end of the alley and while expensive (Its Venice) it was very good. There is a launderette next door to the hairdressers. Easy walk to Campo S. Maria Formosa which has restaurants and fruit and veg stalls. Also off an alley there is the bookshop Liberia Aqua Alta. As well as the usual activities I would recommend the food tour in the Rialto market and San Polo area. Find it on Get Your Guide. Also buy a water boat ticket for the duration of your stay. A great way to get around Venice and have a rest from walking.
  : Nothing to really dislike considering its a good price but be aware the apartment is up two flights of stairs as is common in Venice. Also beware of mosquitos as even on October as the weather was warm they were around. Paula provides spay etc if you ask but best to come prepared and keep the windows shut at night. No air con but fans in the rooms.
