Esmeralda was a very professionell and welcoming host from the first e-mail on. She helped us with extra information before the trip, came to pick us up at the boat station and showed us all the features of her beautiful apartment. She provided us helpful information regarding near-by restaurants, shops, and gave us advise in sight seeing. Her apartment was perfect for us, very clean and cozy. Simply a perfect place to have a rest at after long walks through Venice. Very unique are the two luxurious bath rooms, one for each bed room. The apartment is located in the heart of Venice, quite hidden and very quiet. But just after a few steps you're right in the streets of Venice in a very nice road with little shops, cafés and a Gelateria. We can fully recommend Esmeraldas apartment.
