Monica’s flat was lovely. I was travelling alone and it had everything I needed, including things to cook so save money as Venice can be very expensive. Monica met me at the Waterbus stop and walked me to the apartment and gave me some helpful tips on where to eat. The apartment was very clean, it’s small but definitely big enough for a solo traveller for 4 days. The windows face onto a courtyard so it can get dark early but that shouldn’t prove a problem if you’re there under a week. Also the area was great, away from the tourist crowds but still friendly for travellers and Via Garibaldi has great places to eat. It’s right next to Biennale too, I would definitely stay again if I come back to Venice.
