I was lucky that we were on the same flight to Venice! Veronica is a wonderful person and later got to know what a wonderful painter she is :) She has tastefully decorated the house and the home is a beautiful cozy place (in a quiet neighborhood) to relax after all the walking through the streets of Venice. This is near the Biennale venue and I would recommend this over any other place in Venice especially since it is near the water stop (saw many tourists struggling to carry their luggage over the bridges and streets in Venice). I hadn't expected the weather to be so cold and was unprepared, but Veronica was kind to lend her jackets and scarves. Overall it was a beautiful experience staying at Veronica's place!
