At Cecilia's place we were warmly greeted by her co-host Andrea. Andrea was very helpful in communicating with us throughout our arrival in Venice. We arrived by train at Venezia Mestre train station, which is an easy straighforward short walk to Cecilia's apt. I cant stress enough how ideal and convenient this location is. It allow us to easily travel by bus or train in and out of Venezia center. Although, when we needed a break, a short bus ride will take you to a beautiful, quaint, and small neighborhood outside the center. Even being a residential neighborhood there were plenty of great shops, resaurants and a wondetful small bakery just at the corner to the apartment which had everything we would need for our stay.The apartment was spectacular, everything brand new and wonderfully decorated. We almost didnt want to leave the apt. !!! It has all the neccesities you would need for a great short term stay. We were very pleased as to the quality and attention to detail as a complete experience renting Cecilias place. You should not hesitate in booking this apartment, it will trully add to your experience when visiting Italy. Thank you Cecilia and Andrea for all the great reccomendations and for your wonderful place. It was perfect!
