Stefania was a fantastic host! She warned us in advance about a train strike, which helped us avoid some confusion when traveling to Venice from Trieste. Once we arrived in Venice, we got on the vaporetto and she met us at the vaporetto stop closet to the apartment (the apartment is only about a 30 second walk from the San Silvestro vaporetto stop - very convenient!). She showed the room to us and also helped us map out our site seeing (navigating streets in Venice is challenging, so this was quite helpful!) and also made some restaurant/activity recommendations. The room was very nice and comfortable. The internet is provided via a portable 4G device, which you can take with you while site seeing (though a portable battery to recharge it mid-day is necessary - but you'll likely need to bring one for your phone anyway). We found this really helpful - it's great to be able to have access to google maps without using up expensive international cellular data! However, if you plan to spend a lot of time in the apartment surfing the web, take note that like cell phone service in Venice in general, it doesn't work very well inside buildings. We preferred to spend time out in the city anyway so we didn't mind - it was really nice to have wifi while sipping on a Spritz by a canal! We would definitely book a stay with Stefania again if we get the chance to visit Venice in the future!
