We have had a brilliant time at Beatrice's apartment! It's very quiet, a lovely spacious size, but it's within a 15 minutes walk of the sights, sounds and smells of Venice! Beatrice met us at the waterbus stop as promised, and walked my wife to the apartment, and helped with the cases, whilst I hot-footed it to the airport to drop off the hire car we had used the week before to travel to Misano and then back to Venice. The apartment is in a very quiet residential area, and has a fridge/freezer, cooking hob, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, and even a full sized washing machine and dryer, although a rack is provided for if you prefer to leave your washing to dry naturally in the locked private courtyard. Security seems good, with a locked gate and a decent lock on the single apartment door, and it is well lit at night. There is a TV in the lounge and one in the bedroom, but only Italian channels are available. The Wi-Fi was very good, however, so we could watch stuff on our laptop when we had a bit of time at night. A 48 hour waterbus pass was excellent value, and we had trips to Murano (for the multitude of glass shops and studios), the Lido area, as well as a few jump on/jump off trips to see the sights. It also gave us a discount on our Aerobus tickets for the trip to the airport. We will definitely return to Venice, and will not hesitate to book at Beatrice's place again. It was a real 'find'!
