We did not stay in la casa di Gemma, because this had been reserved just a couple of minutes before to someone else but instead we received a beautiful house for the same price. The house located in the same sestiere number 1817 was very complete, clean and cosy. It felt like home. The location of the house was perfect, everything was within walking distance and there were some nice little shops, bakeries and restaurants in the surroundings. At arrival we were picked up like agreed and Laura led us to the house and gave a very detailed explanation with a map and gave us advice and a lot of nice addresses to go. All of this made that we had a marvellous stay in Venice.
