Our stay at Cristina's place was fantastic. She met us at the water taxi stop in order to walk us to the house and show us around. We appreciated learning the history of the building, and her tips about where to eat and go were very helpful and saved us lots of money. The welcome gifts were a kind touch. My young children also loved the house - especially the bathtub since it was the first they have seen since we've been in Europe for nearly a month. The location was a little off the beaten path, but Venice is so small that it was still very easy to access everything and actually nice to retreat away from the very touristy areas at the end of the day. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
