My husband and i stayed at Emilija's apartment for 3 nights. We didn't meet her but Andre picked us up from the train station and gave us a very thorough guide to Venice, pointing out the best places to eat, where to catch the bus and the usual prices. It certainly helped us enjoy our trip and saved us time working it out ourselves. The apartment is clean, comfortable and simple- exactly as described and what we needed. The only downfall for us was that the lack of wifi, however that was specified in the description and not a shock. We would definitely recommend the apartment to others :)
