Claudia's apartment was very comfortable and quite lovely. It's also in what I thought was a great location -- in a relatively quiet part of Venice, away from the masses of tourists in San Marco. It's about a 10-minute walk from the train station and even less from the bus station. Claudia had someone waiting for us at the apartment when we arrived so check-in was easy. Perhaps my only word of caution is that Claudia expects her visitors to take good care of the apartment since it is such a nice place.
