Six of us Americans, 1 married couple and 4 single ladies, spent 2 evenings at Simone's place. It was immaculate and so convenient to wherever we wanted to go in Venice. Simone was a gracious host - gave us wonderful suggestions on where to eat, helped us at the taxi stop, and gave us a bottle of champagne, juice and snacks. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and showers great! I would stay there anytime I visit Venice.
