The host was wonderful. Monica provides a really comfortable and meticulously clean set of rooms, with great bathrooms (which is important after trudging the streets in a Venetian Summer). As well, she takes great care over breakfast. On the first day, she had made some jammy delights which were still warm. So good! The strongest thing about this accommodation, however, was Monica. Her English is great; she is interested in her guests having a good time; and she is enthusiastic about discussing tourist outings and providing advice. It got to the stage that each morning, we said to her: 'What should we do today Monica?' and she would make suggestions that weren't in guide books and were wonderful. We had a lovely time in Venice, partly because of all of these things about the accommodation.
