We had a wonderful three nights in Carla's apartment.
For visitors it is only about 7 minutes walk from the bus station and less than 5 minutes from the train station. There is a very good local supermarket less than 5 minutes away. The flat (on the first floor) is also only a couple of minutes from two vaporetto stops and very close to the Grand Canal. Despite being in a handy spot, it is quiet and peaceful.
We have only good things to say both about Carla and the property. The bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms are large and clean; the kitchen had everything we needed. There is loads of wardrobe space and a comfortable sitting room, the bathroom has a double basin and power shower and is modern.
Carla, as a host, went out of her way to be helpful to us. As we were arriving on Easter Sunday when the shops would be shut she was more than happy to pick up a number of items on a shopping list for us. These were all provided in the kitchen when we got there. She met us a short distance from the bus station and was there to greet us. We were also able to leave our cases in the spacious hall on our final day and given a key to the front door, to collect them when we liked. This was a great bonus because we weren't leaving Venice until the evening and it gave us an extra hands free day. Carla lives in the apartment and is the only other person with access to it, so the luggage was perfectly safe.
My only hesitation in recommending this property, which was a perfect for our needs, is that it might not be available when we next visit Venice.
Thanks so much Carla.
