Margherita is an excellent host! You can tell she loves to host and loves Venice. Her place has everything you need (including a ceiling fan in the bedroom - the only one we had in our five weeks of traveling Europe!) When we arrived, she had company over and offered for us to join for a spritz. We opted to go to dinner instead since we were hungry after train rides all day but it was very thoughtful. She also gave us plenty of information on what to see in Venice. It is very easy to reach the city from her place and you will save a lot of money staying here instead of on the island.
