The apartment and the host were truly a treat. Location-wise, it is very central; close to shops and restaurants, yet well hidden from the crowds. The water-bus station is just a few minutes' walk away, as is the ferry station to Murano and the airport. Lots of streets to explore nearby, as well as hidden gems such as a lovely church with marble columns. And safe to explore even at night.
The house itself is beautifully and artistically done. It was just so pleasant to get 'home' after a day of touring.
The host let many thoughtful touches such as leaving laundry powder, sugar, salt, dish washing liquid and tablets etc. Best of all was bread, croisants, jams, juice, milk, as well as the usual tea and coffee. The host was also flexible with us leaving luggage at the place after check-out time. All in all, it really felt like home away from home.
