Loretta was an amazing host! She gave us great directions and advice before we arrived, to include how to navigate the Vaporetto from the train station. As we came in on the Night Train, she was even able to accomidate an early check-in (and had a place to store bags if not possible). The place worked great for our family of four and was fantastic for cooking meals. The location worked out great as well, was very close to St. Mark's square and great to explore the rest of Venice. Vaporetto worked great to get to some of the farther locations, but still very close to a stop (Arsenele). Overall I would highly recommend to anyone considering a family trip to Venice.
