Wow. That is the only word that comes to mind about how absolutely wonderful our stay was.
Our day in Venice started off with my cellular SIM card randomly stop working. I was in a foreign country, having just spent $35 in France for a SIM card, and now without any data in Italy. I had no access to the directions to the Airbnb. Maria was kind enough to meet us at the water bus port and walk us directly to the Airbnb! She gave us a personal tour of the home, drew us directions on the map to her favourite restaurants and gave us general tips for wandering the streets of Venice. The apartment itself is beautiful and felt like home. Just remember to bring some bug spray because of the water! Five stars!!
