Tokuro's place is right in the heart of Venice- I highly recommend that you stay on the island. Everything was right there! Tokuro's place was so clean, tidy, nicely kept with a modern look inside. Alex (her son) was so gracious, met us at the ferry boat stop and helped us with our luggage. Also Tokuro touched base with me couple days ahead of time and was constantly in touch with me to ensure smooth traveling. The AC worked great! And with windows shut it was so dark - we were able to sleep in without a problem as it was quiet, cool and dark. Plus beds comfortable. This was needed as we were still exhausted from our travels! I highly recommend her place!
