The stay at her place was a beautiful experience. I actually did not meet herself but her mother who is the kindest and calmest person you can think of. She was guiding me around and showing me everything. The apartment is beautiful and. clean with a small garden in the back right next to a channel. The location is also very recommandable in my opinion. It's far away from the crowds and the noise but still close to the island. In 15 minutes you are in San Marco square and in 45 minutes at the train station. When you arrive at the Lido you have to take a bus which is included in the 3 day ticket for the boats. I never felt that this was annoying. The big plus is that you have a very calm neighbourhood far from the crowds and the only beach from Venice right 7 minutes away from the house. The beach is quite beautiful and clean. People who like to spend a day at a beach should definitely go here.
