Anna’s place is very well located. If you are arriving or leaving from the Marco Polo airport you can take the Alilaguna water bus to or from the San Stae stop. However, if you are taking it to the airport be sure to give yourself plenty of time in case the first bus is full.
We found a number of excellent restaurants, a gelato shop and a grocery in Campo S. Giacomo which had a nice mix of tourists and locals.
The vaporetto was not running the day we arrived so the tourist office showed us on the map how we could walk there. Unfortunately, it was not the correct street. When we called Anna to get directions, she very kindly offered to come meet us. We found Anna to be a very conscientious and responsive host.
