Valeria's place is so quiet and clean, and she is just a very gracious and flexible host, responding to our numerous queries about things to do, places to go and early breakfast requests. The breakfast itself was simple but delicious - bread, biscuits, coffee and juice. The thing though about Venice is that there are no taxis (you can take the very expensive water taxi). So from the train station to Vale's place, our luggage took a beating getting dragged on Venice's imperfect streets. And Vale's place is 4 floors up with no lift - with 2 23kg bags, it was a workout. It was a great place to stay, but maybe those with heavy luggage need to consider other options. Overall we were satisfied with our stay. Grazie mille, Vale!
