Samantha’s sister Claudia met us at the water taxi stop and the check-in was really smooth and informative. The apartment was comfortable for our family of 6, and was very centrally located.
What we did not expect was to wake up the next morning to the sound of water sloshing below our windows as people walked past. It dawned on us then that we had caught Venice in one of her high water phenomenon. The kids were thrilled, and asked for wellingtons so they could go exploring. I emailed Samantha, and she graciously dropped by an hour later with a pair of boots for us so we could go out and get more boots for everyone. It was quite an experience for everyone to check out St Mark’s Square (a few minutes walk away) in our wellingtons. A rare photo opportunity.
Samantha is incredibly helpful and responsive with the booking of our water taxis and porter service. She is an excellent host, we highly recommend her and her apartment.
