Christina's place is an incredible find. The location couldn't be more perfect. It's literally a couple hundred feet away from the water taxi stop which made arriving and leaving hassle free even with a good amount of luggage. Opening the door every morning to be greeted by the waterway was stunning. Also it's very close to a supermarket, an amazing gelato place, and a few great restaurants. It seems to be tucked into the less touristy part of Venice, it didn't seem overly crowded yet the main areas like San Marco were a (beautiful) 15 min walk away. The place isn't large but for 2 people it was more then enough, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great. I was a little worried about a few reviews that mentioned flys but I didn't notice any when we stayed. The 2 things of note would be the €40 cleaning fee on arrival definitely is unusual but for me didn't take away from how amazing the place was or the fact that I'd stay there again. Also as has been mentioned in other reviews Christina's friend checked us in but spoke very little English. This was not a problem for me because I don't expect anyone to speak outside of their native tongue but also because Christina already clearly communicated what she needed (cleaning fee, passport info, etc). I speak Spanish which is pretty similar so could understand the jest of what she was saying but even if that wasn't the case Christina provided a binder with all the details in English as a reference. We spent a couple days for our honeymoon here and it was a magical place and city, it should be on everyone's bucket list!
