We had some wonderful days in Venice at Chiaras home. She is a great host and gave us in advance recommendations about how to come there from the airport and she even picked us up from the water bus station so we won't get lost. The apartment was neat and cosy. The kitchen had everything you need for your stay. The location is in a nice and quiet area a bit away from the touristic hot spots so you are in silence and can discover the real Venice. Not far a way is a supermarket and a water bus station so you can get everything you need and get around.
