Chiara is the most amazing host! She met us at the Rialto Bridge where our water taxi dropped us off. She helped carry one of our bags(the heaviest one!) and walked us to the apartment. It was like walking into a movie set, so beautiful and perfectly decorated. Different tiles and artwork. Chiara gave us a map and marked the different places that followed our interests. She encouraged communication throughout the trip and even made a dinner reservation for us at the most amazing outdoor garden restaurant. There was a washing machine that we used twice and a clothes line out the window for drying. It made us feel like locals hanging out clothing over the canal. The location was central and perfect. There is a little restaurant right outside of the apartment that we ate at one night when we were very tired from the day. The beds were very comfortable. The layout of the apartment is comfortable too. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the apartment, allowing for quiet and privacy. I hope when I return to Venice that Chiara’s place is available again! Ciao!
