Giusy was a fantastic host! She provided terrific directions right from the airport- it is very easy to get to from the water taxi. We arrived early, and there was still a guest in our room- but Giusy allowed us to store our luggage until the room was ready. She offered help in any way possible, with recommendations and directions. The location was perfect- just enough outside of the city centre to not be bothered by the noise or crowds. It is a bit of a hike to get to the touristy areas like St Marks- but getting lost in the streets is all the fun of Venice! Truthfully within a few trips going back and forth we knew our way around just fine. We had to catch an early train in the morning, but Giusy was nice enough to put out some breakfast for us anyway! We had such a wonderful stay in Venice- all thanks to Giusy!
