Gosh, I love Valentina. She is VERY friendly, very accommodating, super nice and helpful, and it was obvious that she ENJOYED hosting and meeting people at her place. Her place was a little hard to find but it was in a nice, quiet, private, and pleasant neighborhood and once you get there, she will be happy to assist you in pointing out where you need to go to take the tram to get around Venice. Her place was clean and it was such a big bonus to have an en suite bathroom in our very nice and cozy room. But more than the room, the big plus to this place really is Valentina herself. My mom and I had a nice chat with her. I don't think we would've enjoyed Venice as much if not for Valentina-- meeting her was one of the highlights of our trip. She's a darling :) Grazie for being so nice and accommodating, Valentina! :) Hope to stay with you again next time we're in Venice :)
