Venice, Venice, Venice! Wow, I'm so happy for Claudia and Maja that they can live in such a place and have enough space to allow for others like my daughter and I to experience it as well. We never met Maja, but Claudia was a great contact to have. It took some work to get in and out of the apt. for us because of the lock and the old door. Claudia had just the right touch, needless to say in the time we were there, we didn't conquer that very well. Claudia met us at the Church across from her apt. The location of her apt. was wonderful for travelers coming in on the bus or train. We felt as though we got the Venice living experience by having a canal directly in front of their home with boats driving by and bells ringing from the church. The room appeared as seen in the photograph with plenty of room for the two of us. Claudia answered questions we had about the location of certain things we wanted to see as well as showing us some of her favorite haunts on our map. Nice meeting you and thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your lovely apartment.
