We stayed at Milena's apartment in Venice for 4 nights. It is incredibly spacious and opens up onto the canal. Fantastic for watching the daily passing by of Venice life over your morning coffee.
The location of Cannaregio is fantastic. It is away from the tourist hustle and bustle and you have the best restaurants and bars minutes away. Milena also left an array of helpful tips on where to eat and getting around, guide books etc.
Milena also arranged for a porter to meet us at the station (additional costs) but it was great as they took us straight to the accommodation which involved navigating the back streets of Venice and over a few bridges. The accommodation is about a 15 min walk from the station and by the time we left Venice we were locals so no problem getting back to the station on our own.
We really did have the best time and thank you so much Milena for being a fabulous host
