Yaya's place is pretty much perfect for Venice. It's location is right next to the train station and is extremely easy to find. Despite its location, it is quiet and quite relaxed. The apartment was cozy and really comfortable. Yaya herself was incredibly helpful. She went over all the details of Venice on a map and gave a ton of suggestions of what to do and where to go. Take her advice and I promise you will have an authentic Venice experience, rather than bouncing from tourist spot to tourist spot. She is a wonderful host. I would definitely recommend!
