Perfecto! The space was wonderful but Beatrice made the real difference. The loft was spacious and charming - and thoughtfully appointed. The canal view offered a real glimpse of everyday life, and the location was convenient to neighborhood shops - a patisserie, restaurants, fruit stand, flower shop, etc. - as well as the waterfront taxis. But it was Beatrice who made our stay exceptional. Even before we arrived she arranged transport of our luggage from a business meeting. When we met, she provided a map with suggestions for restaurants and sites to see. And at the end of our stay she arranged for a water taxi to meet us right outside our door onto the canal to take us to the airport - something we would never have thought of and so convenient. This is the second property of Beatrice's that we have stayed in, and each experience was 5-star! Venice is a magical place - and getting lost there is not only wonderful, but unavoidable. It was very comforting to know there was someone we could call and trust if we needed anything.
