Carla was an excellent host to us in Venice. She met us at the train station to guide us to the apartment, which I truly appreciated once we started to navigate the city on our own. She promptly provided a map, circled a few destinations, good walking routes, and restaurants (all recommendations were spot on!) and the all-important Wi-Fi password.

The apartment has considerable charm with its rustic beams and quaint kitchenette. It is close to the train station (but not too close). It's close to some vibrant nightlife in Dosoduro, but has a quiet and safe feel. We would absolutely stay again at Carla's apartment!

A tip to guests - there is an elementary school close by and this a ground-floor apartment, so we could hear school children walking by around 8AM each morning. If you are a late sleeper, I recommend closing the street-side window shutters for a bit of quiet. At night, the street is very quiet.
