Our family of four stayed at Alice's apartment for three nights in July. I cannot thank you enough for Alice. She has been excellent in responding to all my questions. I had no problems getting to Venice from the airport. Zina met us because Alice was out of town, but I was able to send messages to Alice and she responded immediately. I am so grateful for Alice being such a great host. We landed really early in Venice and was planning to walk around before check in at 1 pm, but I came down with a severe migraine headache and Alice allowed me to check in early to rest.
The house is more beautiful than I thought. It has a lot of character. You feel like you have an opportunity to experience Venetian life. I really liked the area. It's so convenient. We walked everywhere to Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's square. There's a really nice restaurant just right around the corner. We didn't like the crowded tourist area and felt much better when we were back at her house.
Thank you Alice and Zina! (Also, Zina was there when we checked out to make sure we got on the private water taxi to the cruise ship terminal. You cannot get better service than that!)
P.S. Alice, could you please say thank you to Zina again? My limited Italian couldn't tell her how much I appreciated her help.
Thanks!
Bonnie
