Believe the reviews! We had the fortune to stay at Dimitri's and Valentina's place. They are amazing hosts!
Before we even arrived, D&V were in touch with us until we arrived. We ended up having our train canceled and had to take a bus to Venice. This would have been stressful since we aren't very familiar with Italy or Venice. D&V calmly walked us through the alternative way to meet them and we arrived exactly according to their directions.
The flat is very modern and clean. It's in a quiet area of the city overlooking a gondola repair shop. Nearby boat transportation is easily walkable. A nearby grocery store is about a 10 minute walk.
Besides being a nice place, what makes it special are the hosts. They were constantly in contact making sure everything was OK and we were having a good time. This was extraordinary service and the five stars are well deserved!
Highly recommended!!
