Erika has a beautiful home to share. It is decorated fantastically and is located just minutes away from the bus to Venice, so you can stay in a place that is guaranteed to be dry and just go to Venice when you like. There is a lot of room for a family and she provides a lot of amenities and even had a nice bottle of wine to welcome us.
The neighbour has a great restaurant very nearby that we ate at twice because the food is good and reasonably priced.
On an Improvement note, it would have been have had a thermostat to increase the temperature on the second floor as it was cold when we were there.
