We loved staying in Cristina's apartment. Communication with her is always quick and easy; she responds so fast! She was very helpful with directions from the train station so we made it to the apartment without incident. Someone was waiting at the apartment for us to help with check in which was really nice-no waiting! The location was perfect for what we were looking for; a 5-10 minute walk from the action but away from the insanity of San Marco (even though that's only a 15-20 minute walk or a very short water taxi ride). We used Cristina's suggestions for restaurants and activities and we were not disappointed. There are two fantastic cichetti places just 5 minutes away for my yelp friends :). The apartment was a perfect size for a couple and the view is stunning. We really liked how the bulkhead lowers to form a couch because it makes the space even cozier. That being said, it's very well laid out and does not feel cramped at all. If you're looking for a comfortable and unique place to stay in Venice, this is it.
