Lucia is a lovely host, she met me near the Piazzale Roma when I arrived so she could walk me back to the apartment. Along the way she showed me local places where I could buy groceries, food and drink, introduced me to the owner of a local cafe and bought me coffee and biscuits!
The apartment is located only a few minutes walk from the train station in a lovely original Venetian house. If you have suitcases with you beware that there is one large bridge and one small one on the way, another large one of coming from Piazzale Roma. The house is in a great location tucked away from the main thoroughfares on a quiet side street, so it is quite quiet at night, but still close to everything you need.
The apartment was very clean, stocked with fresh towels, power converters, tea, biscuits, snacks, breakfast options and fresh fruit. Lucia even made me a homemade fruit cocktail dessert which was delicious.
Once I had myself situated, Lucia took me on a guided tour over to the Rialto bridge, pointing out local spots and sights to check out, buying me some traditional Venetian biscuits, and giving me some photo ops. She was happy to help out with any questions I had during my stay.
Check out was simple, just leaving the keys in the specified location and taking out the trash, and there was a secure location I could leave my luggage for as long as I needed.
