Linda's apartment was magnificent! It is very spacious and has lovely furniture and nice decorative touches. The balcony and large windows overlooking the street provide an open, airy feeling and plenty of natural light and fresh air. The bedrooms are large with dressers and wardrobes that offer plenty of storage space.
The location is excellent. It is nestled at the end of a small, quiet street, so it was quiet both during the day and at night. There is a grocery store right outside and a very good restaurant just down the street. The Frari Church is right around the corner - a nice hidden gem: a beautiful interior with some nice painting, sculpture and architecture, well worth a visit! The Grand Canal and the St. Toma water bus stop are a short 5-minute walk away.
The apartment is a bit difficult to find, but this is very common for many locations in Venice. We got lost trying to find it after arriving at the train station. (Note that Google Maps couldn't quite get us close enough to find it.) HOWEVER, Linda was amazing! After trying our best to find the apartment, we called her and she arranged to meet us at the nearby Frari Church (an easy landmark to find). As soon as we met, she guided us the rest of the way there. She was completely understanding and made us feel perfectly comfortable.
We had an excellent experience at Linda's apartment and would definitely stay with Linda again if we make it back to Venice!
