Gabriella was a wonderful host with a beautiful home. If I ever stay in Venice again, I will definitely try to stay here again. Though it was away from the tourist attractions on Giudecca, it was much more peaceful at night and was close enough to the water taxi for easy travel between the islands. Gabriella's advice on how to make the most of our two day trip was perfect. I followed her advice to a tee and felt that I had a fulfilling Venice experience. Definitely better than paying hotel prices!
