This was my fiancee and my first experience using an Airbnb and we were not disappointed. Everything from our host being there to greet us, to the cleanliness of the apartment, to the little things like extra pillows and blankets added to the overall comfort and ease of our stay. Viorica and Chris were extremely thoughtful and kind when meeting them, and made us feel welcome. Chris' directions to the apartment were great and very detailed. We made it there no problem from the airport following his detailed instructions. In exploring the city, we discovered not only how magical Venice really is, but also how convenient and perfectly located the apartment is. It's tucked away in a quiet side street, but only a few turns and you're out on a main street with food, people and sights to see. We HIGHLY recommend a tiny, quant little restaurant we found right near (less than a 2min. walk) the apartment, called Osteria da Poggi. It was absolutely our favorite meal in Venice but also the best service we have ever had at a restaurant. It was so good, and so welcoming, that we went back twice. But the absolute best part of our trip was coming home, away from the crowds, and being able to go onto the private terrace that is attached to the kitchen. We spent the majority of our time at the apartment there, eating breakfast, napping off our jet lag in the sun, or drinking wine at night. It truly made the trip and the stay to have this amenity. We truly loved our stay, and after falling in love with your beautiful city, we know we will be back. Thank you Viorica and Chris! Ciao and love to you both!
