We had a great time staying at Donatella's apartment. It's beautifully appointed in a quiet part of town just a minute's walk away from the nearest Vaporetto stop. It's convenient for the airport, great for reaching Murano and the Lido and a short boat ride away from the train and bus stations. It's not ideal for the main tourist hot-spots of San Marco and the Rialto, but for us that was more a plus than a minus! The fact it was on the ground floor was also a bonus. Donatella herself was accommodating, friendly and had someone meet us when we arrived. This place comes highly recommended.
