Cristina was the ultimate host! She communicated with me before the trip to make sure that I knew how to reach the apartment and we extra accommodating when I realized my train would be arriving two hours earlier than expected.

When I arrived, she told me a bit about restaurants, cafes, and shops in the neighborhood, which was really nice to have.

The room itself was spotless, the bed was comfortable, great water pressure in the shower, and the WiFi connection was strong (very important when trying to look up things to see/do in the city). It's in a building with a lovely courtyard and right across from a canal, so very picturesque! The location can't be beat if you're arriving into town via train since you don't have to carry bags over any bridges. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Venice.
