Really enjoyed my stay here and would go back. Cecilia's mum is very friendly and caring, leaving fruit on a couple of occasions. The flat's simple, comfortable, clean with a good shower and sweet kitchenette. It was cold at the end of November, but they made sure the flat was nice and warm. Garden's lovely (and seems a luxury in Venice) with a canal just at the bottom, and a boathouse opposite - no forgetting you're in Venice ! As others have mentioned, once you're used to the bus trip to and from the vaporetto (boat) stop at Via Santa Maria Elisabetta 5 minutes away, the journey seems easy. The vaporetto across to the main island is a wonderful way to approach it with the sun hitting the Doge's Palace in the distance in the afternoon - love that journey ! The boats aren't cheap though, I had a 3 day pass for €40 - but at least that included the bus journeys on Lido as well.
