Our host Maria was wonderful. The room was clean and just what we needed for our 3 nights in Venice. She served us a wonderful Italian breakfast each morning with fresh bread, hot coffee with milk, and some juice and yogurt too. She is a warm and friendly person and was very accommodating to us. She speaks Italian but my husband was able to converse with her just fine with his Spanish. She even helped give us suggestions on the best way to get to the airport. We will miss her and Venice, it was like staying with family! :)
