Francesca and Cristian were the most welcoming hosts we have had in our AirBnB experiences. They made sure the apartment was well equipped with everything we would need (including a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, umbrellas in case it rained, great wifi, a well-outfitted kitchen in case we wanted to cook), even going so far as to stop by to make sure the temperature was comfortable (we were there during the change of season). We had texts everyday from them, making sure our experience was good. Although we had been in Venice before, Cristian had great recommendations on where to eat (bravo on that!). The apartment is recently renovated with examples of the glass work from the Murano company Cristian works for. It was wonderful to wake up each morning and stare up at a lovely Murano work of art. Despite the Acqua Alta we experienced (which was fun, really), the area we were in stayed high and dry. We are definitely going to come back here! The only thing nicer than Venice is Venice at Francesca and Cristian's place.
