Erika communicates very well, was in touch with us a couple days before our arrival. The apartment is very spacious, and filled with beautiful pieces of Venice. The neighbors were quiet, and on average only one gondola passed our windows in the evening. The kitchen was nice for preparing breakfast. We were a 5 minute walk from the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square, and many other wonderful sites. The grocery store was a short walk away as well. We commend Erika to anyone considering a stay in Venice.
