Rosella is a super host and its evident why when you interact with her and arrive at the flat. The listing is exactly as advertised and even better that it is away from the crowds in a residential area. It is 10 mins walk to the Rialto and 15 min walk to San Marco. Along the way you will see all the charming parts of Venice before you hit the crowds. It was such a relief to come back to the flat every time. It takes about 20 - 25 mins to walk to the Dorsoduro or Cannaregio district. The flat is located a few mins walk from the water boat stops to the airport, Murano, Burano and Torcello. Incredibly handy when you want to travel to the other islands and the airport.
Rosella had a few provisions for us when we arrived, a huge bowl of fruit, water, juice, prosecco and a sweet Italian bread. The flat has everything you need and it helps that Rosella provides basics such as tea, coffee, sugar, oil, salt & pepper, body wash etc for people travelling with hand luggage.
The flat is located in a residential area near many squares where locals go for drinks and food. Walking to and from the flat has been our favourite part as we get lost in all the squares and alleyways.
Our recommendations for eating out are:
Osteria Alla Staffa (Castello)
Al Vecio Marangon (Dorsoduro)
All Bottegon for chichetti and wine (Dorsoduro)
Osteria Al Squaro for chichetti and wine (Dorsoduro)
Trattoria Bat Pontini (Cannaregio)
Do not hesitate to book this little gem in Venice and you will get to meet the wonderful Rosella! Thank you Rosella, you are one of the best hosts ever for us and we hope to see you again in Venezia.
