Highly recommended stay!
Yaya's apartment is wonderful - bright, colorful, well-decorated, and homey-feeling. It is very clean and tidy and has all the "necessitates" - toiletries, olive oil, some spices, and all the cookware needed to make a meal. The wifi works well and we were able to do a load of laundry, too. Yaya even kindly provided us with some treats, including her limoncello - it was sooo good and got us hooked!
The location is great- literally less than a 5-minute walk to the train station. It is easy and pleasant to walk all over Venice from the apartment. Yaya sat down with us to orient us on a map and give some recommendations, which was very helpful. She was always available and willing to answer any questions. The cost was a bit out of our normal price-range, but it is Venice... Plus, it was worth it! Lovely host + great apartment = quit looking and book now if it's available!
Side note: give Venice Free Walking Tour a try if you're looking to do a tour - we really enjoyed ours!
