Xenia was a great host from beginning to end! For visiting a place that we thought would be hard to navigate you made it easy to get around and make decisions on dinner etc. You gave us such detailed information. If you stay with her, my suggestion if you have time, is from the airport take the bus to the vaporetto to get the experience of local travel, very easy. We took a water taxi back down the canal to leave. The bed was comfortable. Food was great at Nevodi (dinner) make a reservation. Right near the house. It was perfect because we were tired from traveling....Exploration can cause you to ask quite a bit of questions and we appreciated her patience. The place was lovely!
