Claudia is an amazing host! She spent an hour with us at check-in giving us maps and all the advice we needed to make our time in Venice very enjoyable. Her English is perfect. Her apartment is very close to the bus stop which offers a 10 minute ride to the island. There are banks, restaurants, a bakery and a grocery store, all just a few minutes walk away. The apartment is very clean and we'll equipped. Would definitely recommend staying there.
