Raffaella is a wonderful host. Although she was not in Venice at the time, she was quick to respond to messages and to provide helpful suggestions and advice. She was really interested in ensuring that I had the best experience possible.
I was met by Valentina when I arrived and she walked with me from the vaporetto to the apartment. She spent a lot of time explaining how things worked and giving me suggestions, which were all good.
I stayed for an entire month and, while the apartment is small, it has everything needed. I was able to work remotely for the entire month. Internet speeds are good. Never had trouble with Zoom calls.
Bue, really, why would you be spending more time inside than absolutely necessary? There is so much to see and do in Venice!
The apartment is in a perfect location, roughly equidistant from St. Mark's and Piazzale Roma.
Just outside your door is Campo San Polo, an absolutely charming slice of Venetian life. I spent many evenings at the restaurant, Birraria La Corte, enjoying a Spritz Aperol, people-watching and enjoying the perfect weather and atmosphere.
And, as I think someone else may have mentioned, I never tired of walking back to the apartment through the short labyrinth that led to it. Fantastic.
(Oh, and if you're up for it, I highly recommend a walk to the Parco di Rimembranze. Quiet, shady and green, it's a nice respite from the crowds of the city).
I recommend Raffaella and her place with absolutely no hesitation.
