Stylish Raffaella is an excellent host! She met us at the Ca D'Oro vaporetto stop after we got off at the train station and took Line 1 (towards Lido). She answered all our question prior and during our stay promptly. She was very friendly and helpful. Her apartment is very close to the vaporetto stop, just one stop from Rialto Bridge and the fresh fish and produce markets (closed on Mondays). It is on a small lane from Strada Nouva where there are many shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is safe. There is a little bit of noise in the early morning because the locals are getting ready for school and work and during the evenings when people are out and about. But it is quiet at night and you will sleep well with no problem. The apartment is nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable and is one floor from the ground, so there are some stairs, but not steep nor narrow. The kitchen has everything you need. The bathroom is updated, so very nice. Raffaella helped us with restaurant suggestions. We had to go to the Venice Airport early in the morning and the Alilaguna Water Shuttle stop is just a 10 minute walk away, however there are two bridges you need to cross. So if you have big or heavy luggage, please be aware of this. We recommend Raffaella's apartment and lovely Raffaella helped to make our visit to Venice very enjoyable and memorable.
