Loved my stay at Yaya's apartment in Venice. I was a little nervous about staying such a close distance to the train station but all the reviews said it was fine. It was more than fine, it was perfect and so convenient. Venice is a unique city where even next to the train station is beautiful! The locations was perfect for everything we wanted to do and experience. It was very easy to wander around the street away from the crush of tourists. Both Yaya and her husband were very welcoming and went beyond our expectations to give us suggestions for how to enjoy Venice like a local! They even made restaurant reservations for us.
The apartment is cozy and lovely, full of beautiful things and art from Yaya's own travels. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets beautifully soft! The kitchen was well appointed with bot tools and basics like olive oil,salt, tea, coffee and even yummy chocolate biscuits.
The shower is small (like all I have seen in Italy) but had good water pressure and plenty of hot water.
Extras also included umbrellas and void for "Alta Aqua" high water.
I hope to return to Venice again and would certainly stay at Yaya's again!
Can't recommend it highly enough.
