I highly recommend staying at Carla's apartment when visiting Venice. It's a beautiful and well kept apartment in a nice and quiet neighborhood. If you're looking to stay away from very touristy areas, then this is definitely the perfect place. It's also within walking distance to Campo Santa Margherita, and Fondamenta Zattere Al Ponte Lungo - where lots of great restaurants can be found. If you're looking to see Piazza San Marco or do a day trip to Murano island, the apartment is very close to a water bus station and easy to navigate.

Carla was a fantastic and helpful host. She recommended ways to get from and to the airport and also met me at Piazza Roma and walked with me to the apartment. She was also very quick to respond to my messages.
