I had a lovely stay in Venice at Eugenio's place. It was only 15 minutes or less to walk from the bus station, in a nice quiet area but very close to all the major sights. Eugenio explained everything well and was very accommodating, providing a guide book and recommendations as necessary. The room was nice and clean and I enjoyed my stay. I found the WiFi was a little intermittent and not particularly fast but it did the job. Other than that everything was perfect and I'd happily stay again.
