Diana was a wonderful host and her apartment was perfect for us. If you like staying in the busy, touristy places on the Grand Canal or St Mark's Square, this is not the place for you. But if you prefer the quiet residential streets where the locals live, eat and shop, then this is the perfect location for you. Every morning we saw children walking to school or playing soccer. The apartment is about a 20 minute walk from the train station, but you only have to cross a few bridges to get there. Most of the bridges in Venice have steps so they are tough to navigate with luggage.
The apartment was nice and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay there. Diana met us there when we arrived and spent over an hour with us giving us advise and tips for Venice. Her advice was great and as since it was our first time in Venice we were very grateful. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely stay here again if I ever return to Venice.
