Venice stay
What are the 3 best places to stay in Venice ? We are staying for 4 days. Want to stay in walking distance to everything. Preferable with a canal view. We want to stay in the $125.00 - $ 170.00 per night. Either a hotel or a B&B.

Another vote here for Pensione Guerrato. Not exactly cheap, but nothing in Venice is. We loved staying there.
I adored Locanda Ca'Zose. Really cute rooms and great location, just one "block" from the Grand Canal in Dorsoduro. It's near the Salute church/vaporetto stop. It's on a canal and a few rooms have a canal view.

Pensione Guerato cost us 90 Euros a night in late April (paying cash) and, as said by others, perfect location, friendly staff. George
James - Pensione Guerrato is fine BUT you should kow that if you want your own bathroom you will pay over $200 per night. That said I would sooner suggest - http://www.hotelcasanova.it/ Located directly behind Piazza San Marco it is an excellent Hotel and my friends Franco and Stefano at the front desk will take excellent care of you plus a nice breakfast on the house. Not that much more than the Pensione but more amenities.
Ciao, Greg
Any place is Venice is within walking distance of (just about) everything in Venice. We stayed at the Ala hotel but it's more than your price range - about 200 Euros. Not far from Piazza San Marco. Our room opened over a small canal where gondoliers paddled by.
