Fulvia kept up good communication with us from the time of our booking up until our arrival. She met us in person and gave us a warm welcome, showing us the details of her elegant apartment and giving us suggestions for our time in the city. The space is decorated with antique items and furnishings, which adds to the authentic Venetian feeling, as do the Gothic windows over the Cannaregio canal. She kindly included food and drink, including coffee, yogurt, a loaf of sliced bread, jam, and a bottle of wine. There is plenty of sleeping space: a king-sized bed in one bedroom, and two singles separated by a wall in the other. The canal is a main artery, not the gondola-type, and it was interesting to watch the working boats go by. The neighborhood is happily far away from the tourist-heavy areas. It's a hike to walk to some of the farther-flung destinations, but walking in Venice is a pleasure, and the vaporetto is there if your feet need a break. Short walk from the train station, and very easy transfer to the airport on Alilaguna from the Guglie dock, just over the canal. Fulvia was a kind and attentive host, and we would love to stay at her apartment again!
