Valentina’s apartment checks off all the boxes! First, before we got there, she was extremely responsive to my emails. We arrived by train and she emailed us directions from the train station to her apartment, complete with pictures and arrows on where to go and where to turn in the narrow sometimes confusing Venice alleys and streets. It made finding her place a breeze!
She let us drop off our bags before check in, while the place was being cleaned. That was very much appreciated since Venice with luggage is a whole different story.
Her apartment is extremely modern, which is actually appreciated since Venice is so historic. It’s a nice contrast to have. It is located on a busy alley. The noise didn’t bother us since the apartment is pretty well insulated. It just is in the hustle and bustle of Venice, which is either what you want or don’t! It suited us perfectly.
Valentina also left her favorite spots and recommendations, which was a nice touch also. We would highly recommend her place!
