We loved Novella’s ground floor Venice apartment. No stairs or bridges between the train station and the apartment. It was easy to find since there is an arch at the entrance to the street. Novella and her mom, who lives upstairs, met us promptly at the apartment. They are great hosts who took very good care of us. It is spotlessly clean on a quiet street just off the main street that runs along the Grand Canal. The apartment is very quiet, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. A secure building with a gated entrance and a beautiful garden. We loved the private back patio where we could eat or just sit & enjoy the outdoors. A Spar grocery store is just minutes away. Many restaurants nearby, but we highly recommend Ai Tre Archi with canal side dining located on a quiet canal just a few minutes walk from the apartment. Great food & service. If you love seafood pasta the scoglione is amazing! You will not be disappointed in Novella’s home.
