We had been traveling in Italy for over a week by the time our family of 4 got to Venezia. Cristina's place was by far THE EASIEST / SMOOTHEST check-in we'd had. The place is not only super easy to get to, but the place itself is clean, spacious, comfortable, and the view is absolutely unforgettable. The view from the living room and dining room is breathtaking, you almost don't want to leave the apartment at all while you're in Venice because you have everything there, including front row seats to the Grand Canal. The communication with Cristina was super easy, efficient, and very friendly. She's a wonderful hostess and her place is the best in all of Venice. One note, if you mind noise (from the Vaporetto) or are a light sleeper, you may have to bring earplugs because you are very close to a boat stop. We didn't mind because it reminded us that we were sleeping and waking up in beautiful Venice, Italy.
