First of all, Chiara is a wonderful person! We got lost on our way to her apartment, we were tired and not thinking clearly, and she walked us through it and even met us to help us find our way. She's cheerful and enthusiastic-she's the best!
Her place is wonderful. It's bright and quiet. It is a beautiful blend of old and new, with lovely art all over. It's near the train, restaurants, and markets. It's close to Venice but far enough away to be quiet and a slower pace. It's a wonderful experience all around!
