Venice is no doubt a gorgeous city and Caterina's place definitely made the visit hassle free, enjoyable & just perfect! It is a short and quick ride using the ferry boat, which takes you to Rialto bridge & only a short 3-5 min walk (if you don't get lost, as I admittely did, my fault though!) from there. It is in a nice central location, great to get around by foot pretty much anywhere in the city.
You have a Coop supermarket just 3 mins away by the ferry Rialto stop, if you want to stock up and cook your own meals. Caterina was a great host with food left for us for breakfast, as well as excellent local restaurant recommendations in the city.
She let us leave our bags early, despite the flat not being ready & stayed with us until all our questions were answered (despite being in a slight rush to work)! Not to mention she advised us even before we arrived regarding transport and was always at hand to respond to questions. My parents and I had a wonderful time there!
