We were welcomed into Venice by the host's family coming to collect us from the train station and we went on a private water taxi that took us to the apartment. Which made us feel like true movie stars going across the canal.
Once we had arrive at the apartment, they were able to accommodate us earlier than the check in time and allowed us to have more time in Venice itself.
The host gave us a full tour of the apartment and really took the time to 'do the little things' such as have tea bags, biscuits and coffee provided for us. Also, they had set the table for us and had a weather forecast for the days we were there. They were able to give us a locals advice of what to do around Venice.
The apartment was beautiful, clean and in a incredible location. The apartment was only about 5 mins to Saint Mark's Square. And it was lovely at night to sit on the roof top terrace having a bottle of wine.
All in all, they were lovely, kind and beyond helpful. I would truly recommend this host and the apartment.
