Great stay in Ivan's flat in a lovely quiet part of Venice. The flat is just as you see in the pictures, spacious, perfect for two to share with separate rooms, very clean. Bathroom is newly refurbished and has a washing machine - you can hang things to dry in the back yard. Kitchen is big enough to sit around in. Lots of useful touches like a coffee machine with supply of coffee, basic cooking supplies, wifi, and maps and guidebooks. Ivan met me off the vaporetto exactly on time and was very friendly and helpful. The neighbourhood has a fabulous bakery next door (try the long currant buns for breakfast), greengrocer, general store, restaurant etc, plus locals strolling in the park with their dogs, looking out across the turquoise lagoon. Even though it's right at the eastern end of the island, you can still walk there from the railway station, if your head can cope with all the amazing sights on the way.
