The stay was wonderful. Raffaella contacted me a few days before our arrival, was gracious in allowing us to check in late evening, and gave great options on getting from the airport in which was helpful. Her husband met me at the boat stop and walked me to the apartment which was great as it's in a small side street/alley and hard to find initially, but a great location about 20 minute walk from the train station and about 15 minutes from Piazza S. Marco. The apartment was clean, cozy, and enjoyable.
