Keeping in mind that there aren't "roads" in this area, most of the streets are fairly narrow. So, we walked down a narrow street until we came to the mosaic on the ground, and turned left down an even narrower alley with garbage piled beside some of the doors. About half way down, we came to an iron gate and rang the bell. We were buzzed in, climbed a flight of steps. We weren't sure what to expect after this - I had fairly low expectations - but it was nice. The place was newly renovated, much more modern than I'd expect and really quite comfortable.
If you ever find yourself in Venice, I'd recommend staying at the 3C B&B.
The street you start on to get there... took this picture on the last day.
The 'table' on right is actually a raised walkway put together by workmen overnight, because of the flooding caused by high tide on the last day.
The narrow, a little bit eery (until you get used to it) alley you turn down
The iron gate where you get buzzed in.
I forgot to take a picture of the stairs.
Awkward pics of the room. There were so many details, I didn't know where to focus.
The little foyer at the entrance - washroom (which was fancier than any biffy I've ever had) was to the left.
Cool ceiling beams, exposed brick walls and concrete floor
Window - no screens in Italy, but there were shutters we could close to block out noise.
We were only one story up, so we could lean over to see the activity below.
