Carla was great, she met us at the rail station for a short walk to her apartment. We were early as the train arrived overnight from Paris but she showed us the apartment, let us leave our luggage and gave us the keys so that we were able to take advantage of the day to explore Venice. The apt was excellent, beds very comfortable, best place we stayed on our vacation in Europe. The location was close to the water taxis and everything is within walking distance in Venice. The location was quiet and peaceful for sleeping. You will appreciate the location being close to the rail station as there are lots of steps and narrow cobblestone streets.
