We had a wonderful stay in Cristiana's beautiful apartment in Venice. The location is central (very close to the Rialto Bridge), yet the apartment was very peaceful and became our haven away from the hustle of bustle of the Venetian streets in high summer. The apartment has everything you need in it, the bed was very comfy and the views and high ceilings were spectacular. It was great sitting in the small balcony having breakfast watching Venice come to life each morning. There are great restaurants and bars near by and using the list that Cristiana left for us proved to be very helpful and allowed us to avoid the touristy places. I would definitely stay here again and hope to be back very soon!
