Everything about our stay at Lia's place was great! We arrived at 11pm and Lia greeted us and provided us with a folder that told us everything about the apartment, local area and how to get into Venice, including some lovely recommendations. The apartment is bigger than I expected, there was some bits of food in that we could use and Lia's husband greeted us with a bottle of prosecco! It's easy to get into Venice with the bus stop being a few minutes walk away and the bus taking about 20 minutes, I would just recommend looking up your bus numbers before you go! :)
