We were warmly welcomed at the train station by Micael, who works for the host. We had trouble finding him at first because our phones were not connecting to the wifi in the station, so we suggest selecting a meeting place ahead of time. The 15 minute walk to the flat was beautiful, but like much of venice there are many stairs on the way - we packed light so we were fine with the walk. We liked the location for getting in and out of Venice easily - it's a less than 10 min. walk to the bus station (to get to the airport). But, this location is a good distance from the major sights and shopping. We appreciated the quiet neighborhood. The flat itself is charming, full of older furnishings and decor. It's like you're in your Great Auntie's home. The beds were uncomfortable but the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. It's a bit dark and smells like cigarettes but the little outdoor space is nice. We could hear noise from neighboring units, waking up to a soap opera on TV most mornings. But overall we enjoyed our stay in this cozy place.
