We were welcomed by Laura with warmth in equal proportion to the hot spring weather that we arrived with. She bought us lunch to recompense for the late finishing of cleaning following improvements to the flat. She is a local so is very knowledgeable about local amenities and directions. I needed a contact for a specialist art supplier and she sent it to me.
The view is on to a canal - please bear in mind that is the equivalent of a road and consequently busy with tourist taxis and their associated horns and cheering. There are 56 churches in Venice and they each ring 4 times an hour and 2-3 different bells were heard during our stay.
It is quite close to Piazzale Roma so is very convenient if you fly and take the 20 minute bus shuttle service (11 euro return)
The flat is clean and although on the top floor it was easy for a 47 & a 15 year old to walk up to. The roof beams and plain white walls give a calm influence after a busy day sightseeing. There is a supermarket for basic provisions not far away and up to a dozen nice restaurants within 10 minutes walking time.
If I came again I would try to sweet talk the neighbour in order to use their roof terrace above!
