Cristiana's apartment in Venice was a dream! With its incredible living area, with a 5 metre height from floor to ceiling, with its equally tall double doors opening onto a balcony above a beautifully typical Venetian canal, with its lovely mezzanine sleeping area, with its super central location in a great area (even though it's very close to Rialto, the flat's street is tucked away from all the touristy busy-ness), you really couldn't ask for more. Well...you could. You could ask for a friendly, kind, attentive and super informative host. And you would get it. Because that's what Cristiana is. And more. Cristiana has provided above and beyond of what a host would need to: A detailed map of how to reach the apartment for the first time, which is guaranteed to get you there safely and quickly; a super interesting history of the building the apartment is located in; detailed tips on shops, restaurants and bakeries in the neighbourhood and more and more. Cristiana is also extremely quick to respond by a phone if needs be. We were very happy and wouldn't think twice about coming back. Already considering it for next year.
