Just landed back at home and wanted to make sure I wrote up a review of our 4 night stay in Venice. I do want to mention I passed on this location and had booked another because of the last recent review I read by Julie in Nov. I was not wanting any drama with owners so I passed. The other home I rented fell through and I LOVED the photos of this place so I decided to take a chance. I am so happy we did. The location and the home are great. Yes it's cold in Venice. This is a very large loft. The heaters are all on but since the space is so large and open the warmer air rises. So yes it is a bit colder down stairs. But upstairs where you sleep it's perfect. They had two large blankets and slippers for us to use downstairs. Yes flooding happens in Venice. Knee high? Not sure about that - we experienced ankle deep water during high tide. If it was knee deep it would have come into the home I think that last guest would have mentioned that. Thankfully since Julie did mention the flooding the owners have taken it upon themselves to now provide guests with water boots. Which we put to use on one of the days. Not sure if owners of homes should be expected to do that - but it was a really nice touch! Aside from that the home is great. Wonderful view, by far the largest home we had while in Italy and NO STAIRS!! :) We walked for days and found that our location was great. Restaurants all over. I would recommend using the Fork for reservations (A MUST for dinner) They offer discounts we had 25% off one of our meals including Wine! I do recommend hiring a porter to walk your luggage to the house when you arrive - the walk is only 15 mins. Cost us about $40 euro. Or take a private water taxi. We had a ton of luggage and made the mistake of booking a 6:30AM flight out. The house gave us Simon's phone number he picked us up in a private water taxi just down the street and dropped us right off to the airport entrance. THAT was by far one of my favorite moments that boat was great but the views of Venice and rolling up to the airport in a boat! wow amazing (expensive 120 euro lol but great) We had great communication with the owner and her "friend" who checked us in. Very quick to reply to any questions we had. Milena called when we checked in to say hi and wished us well. Her friend we found her very kind and accommodating. We all have our bad days but I have to say that last review could have kept us from booking this spot and that would have been a shame. Glad we ended up at the Psece...
