This was our first experience in Venice, and it was absolutely perfect thanks to Maurizio and Francesca! Maurizio sent several emails prior to our arrival with helpful information about Venice, which we very much appreciated. Francesca met us outside the apartment when we arrived and spent time familiarizing us with the apartment and providing us with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. She was incredibly warm and charming. The apartment itself was everything we needed. It was spotless, spacious, and centrally located. We loved being able to walk everywhere. It rained while we were there, and there were boots and shoe covers in the apartment for our use, which were great. I can't say enough about our experience!
