Giorgia's flat in Venice is super close to the train station, but you will be amazed at how peaceful and quiet it is. Also, it is very easy to find - her directions were perfect. (We suggest using Whatsapp to communicate with her once you are in Italy.) We were a party of 4: my husband and I, plus my best friend, and my husband's cousin. The four of us had just come down from hiking 11 days on the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites. My Friend and our cousin had never been to Venice and we had a perfect little trip with them, in part because the flat was excellent. Rooms were more spacious than I thought; Kitchen worked well: Coffee and breakfasts were enjoyed outside and we made one dinner in and savored it out on the balcony with 2 bottles of wine- fabulous! The Despar market is very close by and has what you need.) The washer had been broken by previous guests, but Giorgia offered to do our laundry for us. Very nice! (but we decided to do it when we got to Milan instead.) We had ample room to relax and refresh after our mountain time, and as for exploring Venice, the location worked great for catching vaporettos to Guidecca, or the water taxi to the airport, and for wandering to the fish market, Rialto, St. Marks, etc. A perfect artment that we would use again! Thank you Giorgia for everything!
