Outstanding host who personally greeted us at the water bus stop to show us to the apartment. The neighborhood is less than a 20 minute walk from touristy San Marco square and was near a beautiful park and greenhouse. Definitely think this area of Venice is a hidden treasure that most tourists probably never experience. Cristina provided many personal touches, including a welcome bottle of Prosecco! All of her restaurant recommendations were very good and you truly were eating at spots with local Venetians. Could not recommend a better place or host!
