We stayed in Cristina's place for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The location is ideal - close to the train and bus stations, but also within a good distance of all of the main tourist attractions in Venice, without being in the typically 'touristy' expensive area. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the little extra touches such as the mini fridge and even a plug adaptor ready and waiting in case we needed it; there's clearly been a lot of thought put into the experience of visitors staying here. Although there are a lot of stairs leading up to the apartment (which is on the top floor of the building) it's worth it for the lovely view and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Cristina herself was very friendly and helpful; for example, when I asked which pharmacies were open on a Sunday, she searched online to find exactly where I should go, which was very kind of her. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
