We have an easy communication with Monica. She has provided information and help to us. She also recommended us places to visit in Venice.
We arrived to St Lucia Station in the afternoon and we use the walking option to Monica's place. It was easy to navigate from St Lucia Station.
You have to bear in mind that in Venice, there are many stairs so avoid carrying many baggage.
Monica's place is easy to find and you may feel challenged because there are small roads but there is no need to worry. It is generally safe to walk in Venice. Her location is close to all attractions and you save time and energy walking.
Our room is lovely, spacious and the canal view is fantastic. We also have a toilet next to us for our room use only. Monica also serve very nice breakfast and we enjoy our conversations with her.
We did many stuffs in Venice eg. Row Boat Venice whereby we learn to row a gondola for 90mins, a ride on gondola with serenade for 30mins, visit the morning market, St Marco Square, Jewish Ghetto, Rialto Bridge and many more. We also attended the closing ceremony of the Venice Carnival and it was fantastic.
We also take Monica's recommendations for Ostaria Diavolo and Trattoria Madonna and we have very yummy Venetian food.
The standing pasta near St Marco Square is also very nice, it is called the Dal Moro's.
We also bought the Baicoli biscotti from one of the supermarkets in Venice and it is cheaper than Marco Polo airport.
On our day of departure, we walked to the F.Te Nove A to take the Alilaguna blue line direct to Marco Polo airport, 15€ each. The ticket office is at F.Te Nove B.
All in all, Venice is a beautiful place and we enjoy our short stay with Monica.
When we have a chance to return to Venice, we hope to stay with Monica again.
Prego,
Lilian & Jerry
