  • The boarding house in Venice where April, Emma, Charlie and Zack Lee live. It is run by Fiona and Mickey - Fiona handles the cleaning and looks after the people who live in the Border House (including the unpleasant - but fun - job of kicking people out when necessary), while Mickey focuses on the maintenance. The building itself has several bedrooms, of varying sizes - April says Charlie's room is twice the size of hers with its own bathroom - a kitchen, a communal bathroom, a downstairs living room with a sofa, Screen and noticeboard, and a basement. Everyone in the house chips in when it comes to chores and cooking duties.Situated near the Venice Bridges, the outside wall of the Border House is decorated with a strange mural of trees, a dragon, and a cloaked figure; April wonders what happened to the artist, and decides he or she is probably 'making a fortune from cheesy fantasy calendars and book covers'. There is a number "4" above the lintel, and nearby is a bench where Cortez usually sits, reading. The Border House and the Fringe Cafe share similar names: they seem to be 'on the edge'. Fiona says the Border House was named because she sees it on the border between two worlds "art and spirit on the one hand, and science and technology on the other." It may not be a coincidence, therefore, that many of the strange occurrences that happen in Venice happen at one of these two places, including Fiona glimpsing an undersea city in the canal outside the Border House and a rainforest appearing in the living room during a nature documentary. According to Fiona, the Border House used to be a factory (no doubt a remnant of Venice's industrial past). While she and Mickey were looking at the building, another company was planning to turn it into a bar and nightclub, but the Venice borough council decided to sell it to them at a reduced price provided they promised to offer cheap accomodation to students. Fiona says they knew the building was perfect as soon as they saw it.
