I felt like a local staying outside the main tourist area! The apartment has a super comfortable bed with high quality bedding. I loved the darling entrance to apartment. There is plenty of hot water & great shower. The kitchen is colorful and cute and looks out onto a lovely private courtyard. It is close to a market and restaurants. Very easy access to 2 major vaparetto stops.
Getting access to the apartment was so easy! Fabia provided the phone number of her friend, who lives nearby. I called her once I was at VCE to let her know when I would be at the vaparetto stop closest to the apartment. She gave me precise instructions on where to walk once I arrived, and then met me in the campo outside the apartment. She showed me around the apartment and was so friendly and helpful.
The apartment had a damp smell - maybe this is true of all apartments in Venice? It wasn't overwhelming but definitely noticeable. It is on the ground floor so it's a little dark - again, probably not a deal breaker because most of your time will be spent away, but possibly a bit depressing if you are planning a remote work stay. I also wished for shades that I could close in the rooms facing the calle - it seemed a little too public for me.
All in all, it was a great stay!
