We absolutely loved staying in Cristina's home. My fiancé and I stayed in Venice after visiting Paris and Florence, and Cristina was by far the easiest host to get in touch with, and the most accommodating. She had toiletries available for us, a safe to use for any valuables, and had left a few snacks and even a bottle of wine for us!!! Cristina is friendly, speaks English fluently, and was truly a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely stay here again if we get back to Venice.
The apartment is in a great location, away from the crowds of San Marco, but close enough to several vaparetto stops and less than a 5 minute walk to the Accademia bridge to get over to San Marco or to the Rialto Bridge. There are several cafés and a supermarket within a half mile. We also enjoyed walking east to the point called Salute where you can watch the boats come in to harbor. It is quiet and peaceful and we slept very well in the queen size bed. I honestly wish we could live here. You'll definitely enjoy your stay here in Venice!!
