Before I talk about the space, I have to first say that if you do stay with Daniela be sure to ask about her friends Marco and Rachele and their boat tours. She set up a boat tour for us with them, and it was by far the best thing we did in Venice. An escape from some of the areas really swarming with tourists, a private boat tour to Murano (island with the glass blowing factory) and Burano. And affordable! Easily the highlight of our trip.
On to the space. It is definitely very basic. There are no frills involved in this place, it is two rooms with two beds. While there are some really nice amenities (washing machine, Netflix on the TV) there are also a few downsides. The beds are not comfortable, both spring mattresses (although she did mention they had ordered a new bed and it just hadn’t arrived yet, so maybe this will improve). It is also wonderful that the area you are in is very quiet, but also the walls/floors are VERY thin and you can hear the people below as if they are in the room with you. Something like a fan to drown out noises would be a huge help to be added to the place.
Like I already mentioned, the location is lovely because it is quiet, but it also gives you the chance to wander around some of Venice’s more residential areas that aren’t crawling with tourists, and that is fantastic. The location really can’t be beat.
If you’re looking for something very basic, with two separate beds in separate rooms, Daniela’s place will work fine for you.
