Kristin's hospitality was amazing! We are so lucky for the opportunity to live like a local for a few days. Thanks to Kristin's tips on where to go because we were able to shop at the local market and cook dinner for our family of 4. We visited Venice and ate at the local food shop, visited a unique book store, and saw Venice from the top of a terrace. We also shopped at the public market and rode the gondola ride because it's quite tiring to haul a stroller and 2 tired kids across all the bridges. We were lucky to have Kristin pick us up from the airport and drop us off at the cruise ship. It was a beautiful experience and we hope to come back in the future when the kids are older. The four year old and one year old enjoyed picking flowers and swinging in the garden the most. I highly recommend Kristin's place for the location and welcoming hospitality.
