Traudy’s place was in a great location, whether flying in and taking the bus or coming in on the train. You can easily get to either location and you are very close to the Grand Canal. If you want to be near the Palazzo you may want to stay elsewhere, but we were able to get there very easily by walking, about 25 minutes and taking the water taxi. Traudy was awesome and met us at the bus station and then walked us to the apartment. The apartment was nice and you have your own entrance to the apartment. Everything in the apartment was great. The bathroom is pretty small especially for my 6’2” husband but it is completely manageable. The location also makes you feel like you are in a locals area which was great. We got breakfast at a cute bakery every morning and the ladies behind the counter seemed to know everyone. It was great and I would recommend her apartment.
