Overall: We enjoyed our stay very much. Enjoyed Most: The location is next door to a beautiful church - the top of which is visible from the garden. There are lovely restaurants nearby and the water taxi stop is handy, too. Enjoyed Least: The kitchen is not very well-equipped. It does have a dishwasher which is a plus, but there were barely enough glasses. Surrounding Area: The area is not in the heavy tourist section, which we prefer. It is in a quiet neighborhood with grocery and bakery nearby so you feel more like a local than a visitor. Nearby Events or Locales: It's Venice, so... Murano is a short water taxi ride away from the stop near the property. Tips or Restaurants: Ostaria Da Rioba and Osteria L'Orto dei Mori were both excellent. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and they spoke English which helped us as non-Italian speakers. Directions: The directions were fine, but they sent someone to meet us at the water taxi stop. We did not use GPS. Check In Out: The process was easy. They let us leave our luggage there as we arrived early, and then we came back after the other guests had left for the orientation and keys.
