I had a wonderful time at the house, the location was perfect for me as I needed to be close to the port but it was easy to get around Venice to visit everything else. The house is in a quiet location, comfortable and very well equipped, there was everything I needed. Marzia was an excellent host, very available to me and she had left lots of the essentials as well as other things in the house for me to use. The internet worked perfectly so I was able to have UK radio and TV on my tablet and the bed was comfortable so I slept well. I felt safe in this location too which is important when travelling alone. I would definitely return and highly recommend this house. Marzia also offered to take me back to the airport on my final day which was a lot quicker than taking the water bus. All in all, I loved this break and very much enjoyed staying in The Smiling House!
