The host Rita is everything you would expect from a host. Upon arrival at the Santa Lucia train station she assisted us with the directions for the water taxi driver. She then greeted us in the lane and escorted us to the beautiful home. Took time to show us around and explain the homes features, which are many. We had a number of questions that were answered with web links sent to our phones. The home itself is stupendous and very Veneziano, with its furniture, terrazzo floors and beautiful paintings. Its location is fantastic with access to all of Venezia's main landmarks. Certainly next time I visit Venice, this will be the home I would choose. Grazie Rita.
