Staying at Monica's was the perfect way to enjoy a long weekend in Venice. We stayed Friday until Monday, which was ideal to explore the city and a few of the surrounding islands. The flat is in a great location, really peaceful but just a couple of turns from the popular tourist areas.
It's stylishly decorated, in neutral colours with a few pretty additions like the silver trinkets and small mirror collection in our room. We were in the triple room which had its own private bath in the bathroom, a comfy king-size bed and great views of the canal below. We spent some time in the evenings with the window wide open, sat in the comfy chair listening to the gondoliers singing and chatting outside. Perfect!
Monica herself is amazingly helpful and so friendly, a delight! She helped us every day to plan out where we should go, as we'd arrived without much of a plan - all of the places she recommended were great as she's been a local her whole life so knows all the areas inside-out. We couldn't have asked for a better hostess.
Breakfast was yummy: cereals, fruit, yoghurt, pastries, toast, cheese, cakes and hot drinks; certainly enough to set you up for the day. If we were to return to Venice, we'd definitely come back to Monica's! Thanks for a great weekend.
