Martina is a really nice person. She is living close to the flat, so could react fast (for instance, fix heater issue as it was little cold when we arrived).
She also give us really good advises on how to manage our journey, return, visits, etc...

Concerning the area, the distance from the railway/bus station is more 15/20 minutes with your luggage, but the situation is good, as it is not in the tourism area... so deeper in real Venice life and quiet.

Just a point: the breakfast is not included as mentioned. You have to buy your croissants, bread, etc... if you want to eat something in the morning.
