Anna couldn't have been more pleasant or welcoming! We corresponded with Anna prior to our arrival and arranged to leave our baggage so we could enjoy the beautiful day strolling around Venice without having to keep an eye on the time or store our luggage elsewhere. The walk to the apartment (with luggage) from the train station was more than manageable so I wouldn't worry about that. Although the apartment was not on the main street we felt safe in the neighborhood and the neighbors we came across were very pleasant. The apartment was furnished with everything we needed, was very clean and quiet at night. We will definitely recommend Anna & her apartment to any of our friends who travel to Venice. Also - for those who decide to travel on the water, there is a vaporetto station extremely close to the apartment so check that out.
