As 2 older backpackers, we were looking for someplace in Venice that was cheaper and quieter and we found the perfect place!
Daria was very communicative and even met us at the train station, though we got lost and went to the wrong exit. She told us all about the neighborhood and the best (and cheapest) places to eat. She checked in with us everyday to see how we were doing so we always felt secure.
The apartment had all the amenities we could want and it was super comfortable. The washer worked, the bed was comfortable, and the shower/bathroom was big and well-lit.
The apartment is in an area that is nearly 100% locals so it is super quiet and relaxed. It's right near the northern 'coast' so you can walk out and sit on the benches and watch the sunset. There's a supermarket within a 10 minute walk and the small local restaurants are cheaper and more inviting. Of course, being in a quiet location, you'll have to walk a bit to get to the sights but you're going to see so much along the way that it's worth it. Even when we tried to take the same path as the day before, we got lost and found something new!
