If you travel to Venice, you simply MUST stay at Fulvia's apartment. Don't be put off by its location away from the tourist hot spots. Everywhere in Venice is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the local neighbourhood. We also enjoyed the short trip down to St Mark's square and the peace and quiet we got when we came home. Be sure to go downstairs for dinner. Best restaurant in Venice and priced for the locals! There is only one bridge between the apartment and the water bus stop (and the train station for that matter) and I had no trouble walking to the train with my grandmother, baby, and two heavy bags in tow.
Fulvia is a 5 star host and has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. She lives nearby and was also available to offer advice and help me one time I came home without my keys! It seems to me that Fulvia takes great pride in hosting her guests well, and we really appreciated that. If we are so lucky to visit Venice again I would most certainly stay at Fulvia's apartment again. Paying a bit extra for this apartment is definitely worth it! Don't think twice!
