Two women, my 18yr old daughter and myself, made the trip to Venice from the United States alone and appreciated how helpful Giorgio and Ida were! They contacted us the day we arrived and made sure we got there OK and that we were on the correct Ferry to easily stop at San Stae right outside their place. They had clothes washer detergent, body lotion & soap etc, umbrellas and lots of info so we knew how to get around. The best part was the pocket WiFi we borrowed and carried around with us so we actually knew how to get around well without running out of data on our cell phone plan! They also have WiFi at their place. Our check out time was a little earlier than we needed to depart on the ferry so we just stored our luggage not far from their place in the luggage storage boxes, very convenient!. Many good food places near and just off the beaten path so we didn’t have to hear all the people walking up and down the pathways which was a much needed break after a day of being around so many tourists in the pathways. We would stay here again!
