Anna's place was as lovely as she is. On the small but beautiful island of Lido we stayed for two nights and as it being my second time in Venice I must say I appreciated the tranquillity of Lido compared to the centro storico.
It was clean, equipped with an AC, which is great for visitors during the summer months. It had beachfront and it only takes around 12 minutes to walk to the busboat that takes you to the Piazza San Marco. There is also a bus that takes about 1-2 minutes.
Anna was a great host and we felt right at home. She even picked us up at the bus station.
