Gloria was a wonderful host! The descriptions and photos are exactly how her apartment was. It was cozy, and she was kind enough to leave some morning snacks and drinks for us to have. She took the time to meet us when we arrived in Venice, and showed us to the apartment. She lives next door, and was available if we had any questions. The apartment is away from the touristy areas, and we appreciated all of her food/restaurant suggestions. It is an easy walk to St. Mark's square, as well as all around the City. Thank you for hosting us! We had a wonderful time!
