We had a wonderful stay with Bruna! We arrived after a long day of traveling from NYC/Milan and Bruna was there waiting for us to let the weary travelers in. She provided us with a map with spots to eat locally, info to quickly get into Venice, etc. Her home is perfectly located close to the bus that drops you right at the vaparetto in Venice, and is in a quiet and lovely part of town. The room is private, clean and beautiful, with a ceiling fan and air con (great in the summer heat!) The bathroom is lovely as well. Having stayed in Venice before, we would highly recommend staying at Bruna's home as a great alternative for those who like a bit more privacy from the throng of tourists.
