We booked Vale's place at the very last minute, and she was nice enough to get it ready for us even with the late reservation. Vale was friendly and helpful, and gave us good suggestions on things to do in Venice. The location of the place is good, because it's a quick walk from the train station. The flat was clean and had some nice touches, like a capsule espresso machine. The only negatives were that it was a bit darker and smaller than it seemed in the photos, and and the air conditioning was a little noisy. It was also a little hard to get the temperature right, as it seemed too hot without the air conditioning on, and too cold with it turned on. The flat also seemed a little expensive to me for what you get. But I realize that Venice is expensive in general, and the buildings are all close together, so maybe this size and style is just normal for Venice. Aside from the couple of things I've mentioned here, overall I'd recommend the place and Vale is a nice and accommodating host.
