Margherita is an excellent host. She meets you at the station to help guide you to her home (almost necessary in Venice). We came in August so air conditioning was a must. The house is on the first floor so it was cool even without the machine on. The house is spotless and beautiful. It's in a quiet neighborhood, which was exactly what we were looking for. If you want to be in tourist central, maybe not the best choice. If you want quiet with easy access to the busier areas, Margherita's place is perfect!
