We really enjoyed having Cristiana as a host. Cristiana is professional, polite and very responsive, as a person I found her delightful, caring and personable. It is the nice touches you notice first, we had an easy communication leading up to our arrival and check in. We had been to Venice before and still got lost on our way to the apartment. Her assistant Ms. Claudia come out to greet us and show us what everything did, how to use the keys and the functions around the kitchen. A chilled bottle of prosecco and biscotti waited us as a welcoming gift.
The apartment is large and comfortable. There are chairs, sofa, daybed and a TV in the living room and having a 20-foot ceiling makes it airy and nice to relax after a day of touring the city. In the kitchen you can find everything you need, plates, cups, glasses, pots pans, even a drip coffee maker. (a rare find in an Airbnb apartment). Up a spiral stair to a loft over the kitchen space you have a double bed and lots of places to hang clothes and hanging shelves to put folded things in. Ironing board and steam iron are also provided. Linen and towels are nice and plenty. Both rooms have windows overlooking the famous canals of Venice. Two huge windows in the living room have French doors to a balcony, we sat out there every night. Noise level was none, slept well every night we were there. The location is ideal for getting to where ever you want to be.
I feel that the apartment you stay in should be part of the trip. Cristiana’s place lets you know you are in Venice and not just some place to stay until you can get out and see the city. She has furnished the apartment with distinctive pieces that make it feel you are a guest in someone’s home. I highly recommend staying here and would again if Cristiana would have us.
