We loved staying at Guia's place!!! Guia made sure that someone met us at the vaporetto stop and guided us to the apartment so we did not get lost. Not only was she considerate and helpful but provided the best place we could ever have imagined staying. Not too touristy, yet not too far from a central areas. Clean with an incredibly comfortable bed. Canal views. Quiet at night. Right by a fresh fruit stand, great restaurants, and the best gelato place (Gelato Di Natura). It was incredibly hot and we did have to pay for air conditioning per day but it was absolutely worth it.
