We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Beatrice's ground floor apartment in Venice. Beatrice met us when we arrived and answered all of our questions about where to shop, eat etc. The apartment was conveniently situated in a quiet street about 10 minutes walk from Bus or Railway stations. It's in a slightly less crowded part of the city but in close proximity to a number of good restaurants, bars and shops. It is also close to the Uglio water bus stop which is convenient for a trip to Murano etc. The only negative comment we would make is that none of the rooms have a view and the apartment was quite dark without putting the lights on. However if, like us, you plan to be out and about and if the weather is good then this is not a problem. Therefore if you want a reasonably priced place to stay in Venice with a very helpful host then this should not deter anyone. As I said earlier we had a wonderful time in the splendid city of Venice.
