I cannot say enough about the wonderful hospitality and lovely apartment! Viorica is such a gracious hostess (we did not meet Chris), she made us feel welcome and at home as soon as we arrived. Clean, spacious and comfortable, her place is in a great neighborhood, close to lovely restaurants and bars, with groceries and pharmacy within easy walking distance. We tried one of the restaurants suggested in the guidebook she has prepared and it was just fantastic! I would highly recommend her place if you are planning a stay in Venice.
