What a wonderful hostess with a perfect little apartment in Venice. The location was just outside and of the more crowded areas, but only a quick walk to the more touristy areas. A one minute walk to the nearest vaporetto stop made getting around Venice a breeze! Venice was our first stop, and one of our suitcases was lost on a layover in Paris. The airport courier would only communicate with an Italian phone number, and Gabriella was all over making sure my luggage found its way to me. She made sure we had a wonderful time in Venice, and we did!
