When travelling we usually stay in self contained accommodation, and as the family cook (& general domestic slave) I often find myself having to improvise, peeling potatoes with a teaspoon, dicing chicken with a butter knife etc (bringing out my inner McGyver!!) - I had no need to worry about any of this at Anna's place, which I have to say is exceptionally well resourced, with plenty of cutlery, crockery and glassware, sharp knives, cutting boards, nice new saucepans and frypans, and even enough equipment to bake a cake (although I did resist doing any baking!) The apartment is recently renovated and very comfortable, and was perfectly suited to our extended family of 6 adults. It is in a great location next to a Vaporetto stop on the Guidecca Canal waterfront, 200m from the Accademia and about 10mins walk to San Marco and the Rialto, as well as to the COOP Supermarket along the waterfront - and there is a great Gelateria Cafe just below the apartment!! The only downside was that our itinerary did not allow us to stay longer at Anna's house, as we were very sad to be leaving this morning. Thank you Anna for your lovely apartment and for how well you maintain it!
