May 2014 - We spent 3 nights in Ivana’s apartment in Venice and we immensely enjoyed our time there. The apartment was exactly as described, charming and situated in a beautifully restored factory building. Ivana was a very helpful and informative host ensuring we had everything we needed to make the most of our trip. The location “Guidecca” was perfect, far enough away from the busy centre but close enough that you could see and experience all that Venice has to offer. The Hilton shuttle which docks nextdoor is particularly useful. We would highly recommend Ivana’s “charming retreat” for anyone who may be planning to visit Venice. Edward & Carol. (Ireland)
