I stayed at Silvia's place with a friend for a weekend. The place is very central, yet the area is quiet and residential. Venice is fairly small and everything is reachable on foot or the water bus stop is literally just 2 minutes away. The flat is nicely decorated and cosy, has basic kitchen utensils and coffee maker.
It would have been nice to have some basic toiletries. I usually fly with a cabin bag only and don't carry shower gel or shampoo.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!
