Claudia's place was very convenient and had everything we needed. The neighborhood seemed safe and quiet, away from some of the hustle and bustle. We were able to walk from the train station with luggage without too much difficulty (even with a child and a senior). We were also able to take the water bus within a few minutes walk all the way to Murano. It was clean and the bathrooms were nicely remodeled. The yard was HUGE and seemed lovely, although we did not end up using it during our short stay. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook some simple meals. There is a street of nice restaurants nearby where people sit along the canal in the evenings to have a drink.
