We received a warm welcome from Monica who made every effort to make us feel comfortable during our stay with her. She told us about the best places to visit, the good routes to take to excape the most crowded tourist areas and blend in with the Venetians - and also provided all practical details concerning travel to the airport. She cooked delicious breakfasts for us, and made up our room every day - making sure all was clean and tidy. - We enjoyed our daily talks with Monica about life in Venice - and life in general. These contributed to making us feel very much at home in our 'room with a view'. We would like to stay with Monica again when returning to Venice and gladly recommend her house to other travellers.
