Abu's flat is located in a very convenient location, away from the hustle and bustle of Venice. Getting to Venice from there is really a doddle. Only 6/7 mins away from the train station where you can catch a train to Venice for only 1.35 euros. There's a train every 5/10 mins and the journey is 10 mins long You've also got a McDonald restaurant, Vendi gelateria and chocolate shop and other shops at the station. Alternatively, there's a bus stop 1 min away from the flat and the Number 2 bus will also take you straight to Venice in about 15 mins. There are a few shops and restaurants in the area so you can have a quiet dinner or buy some ingredients for your pic nic. The flat is on the 3rd floor, so if you have heavy luggage and buggy, it might be heavy to carry up the stairs (I would say anyway that Venice with a buggy is far from ideal with bridges with steps every 20 meters anyway !!). The flat is large. We had a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, which I found quite difficult to find at a reasonnable price in Venice, so that was a big plus. Excellent beds, very comfortable and plenty of covers for chillier nights. Continental breakfast was plentiful. The area is really quiet so we had a really good sleep every night. We were grateful that we could leave our bags at the flat after checking out on our last day and pick them up after a last visit to Venice. I would definitely stay there again on a future visit and recommend it for travellers looking for budget accommodation in a pricey city.
