Carmen's home is very comfortable and clean. The master bed had a quality mattress and quality cotton sheets that made sleeping very easy and pleasant. The quiet neighborhood also helped get a good night's sleep.
Unless you go during the cooler months, I strongly recommend taking Carmen's advise and taking the vaporetto, boat, number 42 or 52 in front of the train station. It takes you to almost her front door and the stop is Ponte Delle Guglie. Walking the 10 minutes from the train station to her house with suitcases is difficult since the roads are full of flagstones and you have to go up and down bridges and many steps.
When you depart her house, take the same vaporetto from Ponte Delle Guglie to Piazzale Roma where you will find taxis 24 hours a day as well as buses or boats that take you to the airport. The taxi was 40 euro and well worth the price since it was hot and humid and we were tired.
We enjoyed our 4 nights in Carmen's home.
