We had a really wonderful time on our first visit to Venice. It is such a beautiful place, so unique with so many things to see and do. Cristina is a wonderful host, she provides very detailed information and is very quick at responding to messages. The check in was quick and easy and we had no trouble finding our way to the apartment thanks to a little map Cristina provided at check in. The apartment is in a perfect location, it is really easy to get around Venice from the location. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby and only takes about 10 minutes to get to San Marco. There is a small supermarket just around the corner from the apartment which is great for picking up supplies for cooking in the apartment. Cristina provides a cook range of cooking utensils so it's nice to cook in the apartment and save some money. The only issue we had was with the mould in the bathroom, it was a surprise when we got to the apartment and not very pleasant to see. Apart from that we had a really wonderful time and would definitely recommend staying in Cristina's for it's great location and lovely host!
