Venice! It is an overwhelming beautiful and confusing place to visit because there are no straight walkways and the narrow yet charming residential areas are difficult to navigate. We booked this apartment because of Sandra's reviews and the apartment was near the Rialto Bridge vs San Marks area.
Sandra always responded to every question, researched events and restaurants for our 30th anniversary way before our arrival. After very specific directions from the train station, Sandra met us at Rialto on our arrival and guided us through the windy pathways and bridges to our little apartment. Despite being 4 floors up stairs, the apartment was fully equipped and very centrally located. She had milk, coffee, tea, fruit bread and cereal for us and spent a whole hour showing all the non-tourists things to go that would make our stay closer to how Venetians live. She suggested trying the Venetian cocktail Spritz, ciccetti and the best places to get real pizza with the best ingredients! Everything she suggested was spot on and made our trip so much better than the tour books.
The apartment needs some new furniture in the living area and could use some decoration on the walls.
Highly recommend the place because of Sandra!
