Cristina's house is situated on one of the main streets of the Cannaregio-district to be reached easily from Piazzale Roma and the train station. Her son Alberto met us at the boat-station Ca D'Oro and showed us around the place, he was very kind and even bought some bottles of water. From there we discovered Venice and some of the surrounding islands (Murano, Lido) easily by walk or ride on the public boat. The house is spacious and outfitted typically, it makes you feel a real Venetian for the time of your stay. The only challenges were to get some sleep on saturday night since the street was quite busy until the early morning hours and the mosquitos, bring your spray at least for this time of the year.
Thanks again Cristina and Alberto for hosting us for these days
