Irene made us feel very welcome. She answered all my questions prior to arrival very quickly. She gave detailed advice about getting from the airport to her place and even met us at the bus. She left us wine and snacks. Her apartment is exactly as the posting shows. It is large beautiful very clean modern apt. She is very hospitable and extremely friendly. She made our trip easy and very enjoyable. It is in the most perfect location, just steps away from the main entrance to Venice, and a short walk from the people mover to the cruise ships enterance. I would highly recommend Irene and her apt. It's like staying at a 5 star hotel with your own personal concierge. She is available for you at anytime. We are so appreciative and feel as though we have made a new friend.
