Anna's home is so beautiful that even the pictures really really don't do it enough justice. It is one of the most stylish and creative houses I've ever stayed in. We came in from Marco Polo Airport, and with heavy cases it took us about 45 minutes to get to her place (30 minute coach/bus ride from outside the airport and then a 15 minute walk). The apartment is just a short walk from all the local restaurants/stations and is a few metres away from the canals. We felt super safe and Anna was really friendly when we saw her and I managed to watch some of the World Cup games on her TV. We left to continue our travels from Venezia Santa Lucia, which again was about a 20 minute walk.
Thanks again for a great stay!
