I'd rate my experience at Federica's flat an 11/10. Looking back, the three things that mattered the most- the host, the apartment and the overall experience.

Federica is so nice and made us feel very comfortable. She showed interest in our plans and made a ton of great suggestions. I knew anything I needed during the trip, I could call/message her.

The place is beautiful and as-advertised, although I'm not sure that's fair since you really have to see it to believe it. The views were great. The location was perfect for us. It's not in a touristy area so you get peace and quiet with everything a 5-15 minute walk away. To put it in perspective, Piazza San Marco is no more than a 15 minute walk, 25 minutes if you get a little lost here and there. (Quick suggestion- use google maps while there. It doesn't use data but will always track your location on the map making it really easy to get around. Obviously, you want to use the map to track landmarks.)

The people, the food, the wine, the sights and the weather! made Venice a memorable experience. If you're planning a trip to Venice I'd reach out to Federica, you won't be dissapointed!
