  : the location
  : we could not sleep at all. The walls and windows are as if nothing was there. You can hear everything from the outside and from people staying next to you (you can unterstans every word they say). The breakfast is not a breakfast AT ALL and the coffee was the worse coffee I have ever had!. This should not be called B&B. it is barely a bed because it is also very uncomfortable. The host is very rude, this is only a business for her and does not care about the guests.

  : The location is excellent - approximately 5-10 minutes to Rialto and San Marco docks in either direction plus surrounded by restaurants and things to do. We were able to walk from the train station in under half an hour and to Tronchetto in about 45 minutes. The room itself was large with plenty of space and the smaller bed was comfortable.
  : The noise here was quite unbelievable. The walls and ceiling are paper thin. Our first night the room beside us were up until midnight talking and we could hear every word as if they were in the room. The upstairs neighbours are equally as loud, maybe worse as you hear their tv, phone notifications, and loud conversations. In the morning there are workers that start doing something nearby around 7am and it’s like being in the middle of a construction site. I believe there must also be transport out of Venice around that time as well as both mornings there were guests loudly packing up and leaving at 6am. An enforced quiet period may help some of the noise and reduce your chances of noise at night, but there is little that can be done in the morning.The bathroom itself is large and clean, however, there is only one bathroom for the entire apartment so you may end up waiting a while if you need to use the toilet at all which turned out to be a fairly significant inconvenience.The breakfast was laughable, I had seen reviews and figured it couldn’t be that bad, I was wrong. We were directed to a fridge with small yogurt containers - there was some bread the first morning but not on the second morning so it was literally just yogurt and bad coffee. Thankfully this is located in a good spot to grab an actual breakfast once you leave for the day.The doors are a pain, there’s 3 keys that take some jiggling to work and you’ll likely be doing this in the dark as all the lights get turned off fairly regularly and are not on motion sensors or timers.The reviews of the host are fairly accurate. Just unfriendly and off-putting.Overall, we did not sleep, eat, or feel comfortable here at all. The location was the saving grace that kept this from getting a 1.If it is cheaper than others by a lot, you can take your chances and hope for quiet neighbours. A weekend might have less morning noise as well, but I would have spent an extra $100-$200 CAD to avoid staying here.
