Cristiana's place is just absolutely amazing. When I stepped into the rooms I couldn't believe my luck that I was actually allowed to stay there for the weekend. The place was spotless and everything you need for a weekend was there. All presented very welcoming. The location of the apartment is amazing - just a few tiny minutes away from Rialto Bridge but still secluded enough to not feel overwhelmed by the bustling city surrounding you. All the major landmarks are easily reached. And Cristiana herself is very lovely. Unfortunately she was away for the weekend and that's why I didn't have the opportunity to meet her in person but the communication, direction and organisation was flawless. She definitely wants to make sure that everyone feels welcomed and home in the apartment. There are a few things you have to keep in mind when staying in the apartment (like not using too many appliances at once for example) but that would be expected in such an old building. I can highly recommend Cristiana as a host and if my travels ever bring me back to Venice I would love to stay in this great apartment again - feeling like a princess for a weekend.
