Venice

Best means different things to different people. Some people like to be in the middle of things and noise doesn't bother them. Others like to be where it's quiet without a lot of people. You need to be more specific in what you're looking for. Also, 100 euros isn't a lot so you may not be in the heart of the city if that's where you're looking to stay. Also, I don't think you'll have a problem finding a clean hotel. Those that have a rep for being dirty don't stay in business very long. Donna

Hi Tom. Look at Ai Tagliapietra B&B; http://www.aitagliapietra.com/ I just got a quote from them of 90 euros/night & the reviews on Trip Advisor are good & the hotel seems like it's centrally located.

We loved Ai Tagliapietra. 5 minute wlk from San Marco, clean as a whistle, and Lorenzo is a marvelous host. Makes great coffee!

We arrive in Venice on the 19th of October and decided to stay in Lido a 15 minute by Vaperattp. Villa Albertina seems good. We like a good night rest after partying in Venice. I read so many reviews that I found it discouraging and finally landed here. MM of Seattle

Just curious, Laurel. Do you mean he makes great espresso in the Italian way or great American type coffee?

Nigel:
I mean a good Italian cafe in a mokapot. I make it that way at home now. Yes, I still cave in to a nice big Starbucks Americano as that is our culture, but I really love that little shot of Italian stovetop espresso at home, first thing! My drip coffee pot is lonely. Laurel
