I had such a lovely time at Monica's! She was attentive without being overbearing, she was kind, welcoming, conversational, and her home was spotless and wonderfully located! For me it took only about 5 minutes to walk to Rialto bridge. This was most handy since it was quite an easy trek and once I was out wondering Venice, I could always rely on signs to get me back to Rialto and then I easily remembered how to get back to Monica's's home. I spent more than one night at a little Bacaro (bar) with great cicchetti (tapas) that was only 1 minute walking and near it at a little neighborhood bar with cheap beer and laid back atmosphere. Also as a tourist In a city that's easy to get lost in (let's face it, it's unavoidable!) it was great to be so close to Calle Nuova which is a long main road that goes all the way to the train station with many wonderful shops, bars, and supermarkets on the way. I loved the location all-in-all. Monica was very timely each morning with breakfast and I appreciated this very much since it allows me to get right to sightseeing from the moment I stepped out, I would definitely recommend Monica's home to anyone considering it. Hot water, clean, great location, tasty breakfast, and ample guidance! Thanks for such a wonderful stay Monica!
