Irene's apartment is in a great location of Cannaregio. Local with some of best restaurants in Venice. We didn't spend much time inside, but it had all the amenities, even a small washing machine which was useful. It was so quiet and dark when you close the outside shutters that we'd wake up at noon thinking it's only 5am. Great place to have a restful night of sleep to continue with the adventure. We took the ATVO bus from the airport and walked from Piazzale Roma. Irene was kind enough to meet us on the way to the apartment and even helped with our luggage. Like another reviewer mentioned Bagatela is around the corner to the apartment in case you get a little lost as google maps is not accurate as far as apartment location, but was a time saver throughout the trip for everything else. We also took the 4:20am ATVO land bus from P. Roma to Marco Polo airport as it was cheaper than hiring a water taxi at that time of night. It's only a 15 min walk from the apartment. If you have one piece of luggage and not too heavy it's an economical alternative if your flight is very early. Venice is a magical city and even after a week here still feels like there's more to see. We were lucky to have the best coffee in all of Venice nearby at Terrafazione, we'd enjoy a different variety everyday before heading off to explore. Thank you again Irene for allowing us to stay in your lovely apartment!
