Mina was an excellent host. Even before we arrived she was helpful in answering my questions. Her son met us at the boat as promised and walked us to the apartment. You would never find it otherwise as Venice is a maze. The place was as advertised with great views, clean and comfortable. It is in a residential area which makes your stay that much more authentic. While there, I sent Mina a couple of questions and she responded right away. It was a fantastic stay in Venice!!!
