Chiara’s lovely home is in a great location if you don’t want to drag your suitcases ip and down the bridges and on and off crowded water buses. It is just 5 minutes from Piazzale Roma, the main bus station on the island and where you would be dropped from an airport bus. It is on a quiet canal and has everything you could want for a very nice stay, including welcome baskets of pastries and fruit.
She gave us great suggestions for places the locals eat, and also for a supermarket that was 1/2 the price of those catering to the tourists. She checked with us after the first night to ask if we had everything we needed and if she could help with anything.
And finally, she went above and beyond by mailing my air buds to me after I left them in the house. I highly recommend booking her place!
