Fulvia's apartment is in a lovely area of Venice, situation along the Fondamenta Cannaregio. We chose it because of its proximity to the train station; however, we were extremely pleased with the easy access to two of the major vaporetto stops, making it very easy to come and go as we pleased.
Of course, we also spent some time wandering about the streets and alleyways of Venice (and getting lost). I carried Fulvia's business card with me, and she graciously offered any help we might need. Upon our arrival, she spent a good 45 minutes going over sights and things that might help us. She was so pleased to meet us and even welcomed us early, since our travel plans necessitated getting into Venice earlier than the scheduled check-in time.
Fulvia also corresponded with me prior to arrival and sent me several documents to help us figure out the canals and different methods of transportation. We could not have felt more welcome.
The apartment itself is spacious, compared to the smaller hotel rooms we've stayed at in other parts of Italy, and had a full kitchen so we were able to make our own meals if we chose. The beds and furniture are all antique and the entire apartment is clean and beautifully adorned. Our niece stayed with us on two of the nights, so it was nice to have the separate bedrooms and a bit of privacy for each. There are ample books and pictures around if you want to read about the churches of Venice or some of the history. We only stayed a few days, but will definitely return in the future.
I highly recommend this apartment if you are looking for a place to stay in Venice.
One last side note - there were two flights of stairs to enter the apartment, not a big issue for us, but just to be aware if anyone has limited mobility. For us, being up on the third floor afforded a lovely view down the street - just breathtaking!
