My stay was really great and Antonella was a great host. She is such a nice person, and I felt right at home. The space was really lovely, and it felt nice and safe. The bed was very comfortable, and her place is near many great sites. Perfect central location for walking to everything.
The walk to Antonella’s place from the bus station has many bridges with stairs over waterways, so make sure you pack smaller suitcases that you can manage over the stairs for the 18-20 minute walk to her place if you decide to take that route. Better yet, take the #1 Vaparetto to the San Stae stop. Then her place is less than a five minute walk. I made the mistake of bringing a big suitcase with a smaller carry-on. Not the best idea.
