Staying at Anna's flat in Venice has been a lovely experience. I came for study at Warwick Business School (just one water stop over at Ca D'Oro) and the flat was an island of calm to come home to after a busy day of group work and lectures or tourist-filled sightseeing. There is a little rooftop balcony to enjoy of an evening (or at breakfast) as the city carries on around you. I could throw together a quick meal in the kitchen, but spent most time out and about with university friends enjoying some fantastic food around the city (start your evening with a spritz!). Well placed for Rialto bridge and market (about 5-10 minutes) and the Doge's Palace and San Marco take 15-20 mins on foot. The water bus at San Stae is just a couple of minutes away. I would happily stay here again and Anna is really helpful in getting you to the flat and letting you know what is on and happening - a perfect hostess!
