Calliope is an amazing hostess. Calliope and her husband met us at the dock when we arrived. They took us to the apartment and showed us how to utilize everything. They stocked the refrigerator with eggs, bacon, milk, juice, bread, croissants, beer, and wine. They also had oil, pasta and tomato sauce in case we wanted to eat in. The apartment was in a perfect location close to water busses, Saint Mark’s square and fabulous restaurants. The apartment was clean and was furnished so you knew you were in Italy. Calliope was also very flexible as we needed to check in early and stay later due to transportation schedules. We absolutely loved Venice and hope to return soon.
