Ruby was helpful getting us settled into the place. Parking was easy and free. Her apt. is very spacious compared to most Italian homes- especially the shower. We enjoyed easy transportation into Venice. There's a grocery store a block or two away but it isn't well stocked with fresh fruits/veggies/meats. Cooking in her place was easy and she graciously provided breakfast. Doing laundry was easy. Overall a great choice when staying outside of Venice!
