Margherita and her partner were warm, friendly and welcoming. Communications and directions were excellent. Margherita very kindly provided coffee, juice and a snack in the mornings. The room was large and very comfortable.

The location is half an hour from Venice city in a residential neighbourhood. There are lots of buses and trams and I never had to wait more than a few minutes for one. It is quite a distance, however, so should be weighed against the extra cost of staying in the city itself. The area felt safe. I took the night bus only once. This has different stop names and is very dark. I ended up going too far and had a long walk, but again local people were helpful in getting me back on track even at 2am.
Should be noted that this is a smoking apartment, which I had not realised, although the owners did try to keep this out of the communal areas. I was also charged a 10 euros tourist tax, but this is a legitimate fee levied by the local authorities.
Margherita was an excellent host, helpful with maps and information. Her space is perfect for a single traveller on a budget.
