The host was amazing! She made us feel like this was our home. She picked us up from the train station, we didn't ask her...such a nice surprise since we were traveling with kids. Although the train station is about a 10 minute walk, McDonald's is near and a couple of grocery stores. The bus station is right around the corner to get to the heart of Venice--about a 7 minute ride for 1,50 euro. I would come back to stay and recommend to others.
