Katia was a delightful host. She is very helpful on how to see the city, providing maps and details on where the bus and tram stops are, how to get easily to Venice. Her apartment is spotless. The room just like the photos, or better. Very big and spacious. Closets and night stands, plus a few little side tables and chairs. Even a little balcony. Very light and bright. We like that it has an elevator too.....no stairs to walk up. Bus and tram stops are right outside the building. Fabulous coffee every day, including when we arrived! Katia prepared great breakfasts every day...so many choices including eggs yogurt and cereals. Great! Bed was comfortable. Bathroom nice and huge bath towels. Easy to get in and out of Venice each day and plenty of places around her area for dinner too. Really nice area. Highly recommend this for people who don't want the high expense of staying in Venice and don't mind commuting in to visit each day. We don't drive so it was easy for us on local transportation.
