We had a lovely stay at Cristina's apartment. She was kind enough to leave some cuddly toys & ride on toys for our children (aged 3&5) to play with & I think this was one of the highlights of their trip! The apartment was comfortable& a perfect place as our Venice base, being close to a vaporetto stop, a lovely walk to st mark's square& also near to a play park for the kids. The location was safe and tranquil. Cristina was a great host, leaving us some snacks & giving us some great restaurant recommendations. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit Venice (our children are already asking when!)
