Our stay at Valentina's place was amazing! Getting from the bus stop to the apartment was a little tricky with our baggage, as there are a few bridges with many stairs, but going from the apartment to the train station was MUCH easier. Valentina sent us directions as well as a video of how to find the apartment, and we made sure to message back and forth a few times before check in to make sure everything went smoothly. The location is close to many shops and restaurants so if you don't want to wander too far from the apartment you can still shop and eat and even visit the supermarket! The apartment itself was modern and spotless and Valentina kindly left us a few (much needed) water bottles in the fridge. I highly recommend staying at Valentina's place if you want to stay in central Venice!
