Staying at Calle Larga was the high point of our trip to Venice. We would leave Angela's apartment, get lost, walk forever, and then find our way back using a compass. Upon returning, the apartment welcomed us providing us with warmth, comfort and sanctuary. It is located on the first floor, which means you have to go up a flight of stairs. The apartment has a pleasant living room, two bedrooms (one containing a single bed), a great kitchen and a fantastic bathroom that must be seen to be believed. Additionally, you will find a washer AND a dryer, but be careful about how many appliances you have on at the same time. Angela has an information sheet about this on the apartment's door. Very informative and helpful. You will find this to be a place where the owner has put a lot of thought into every room, down to the position of the bedside lamps and their switches, which are located for easy switching off as you drift off to sleep.
Angela herself was also very helpful upon our arrival, showing us around and indicating how to use various appliances and where things were generally. She answered our questions about trains, restaurants, and shops. She was very gracious. Be sure to check out her art collection and pack light.
