Monica and her husband Marco were amazing hosts! They communicated with us up until the day of our arrival, then met us at the Santa Maria Sel Giglio Vaporetto (water bus) stop to personally walk us to the apartment which is absolutely beautiful. They helped us with some sightseeing and restaurant suggestions as well!
The apartment itself is in a great location and is in walking distance of Piazza del San Marco (Saint Mark's square). There are little restaurants and cafes everywhere within a 5-10 min walk, though most do not open till 7AM and do not have change for big bills.
The apartment is very beautiful and looks just like the photos. It has a great view and a lot of wonderful amenities like a full kitchen and very roomy showers (for Europe). A note regarding the smaller bedroom with the IKEA daybed - it's extremely small, much smaller than the American version of the same bed, so it's best to request the bed to be made out totally pulled out as it can transform into a much larger and more comfortable bed if you're someone who tosses and turns and spreads out across the bed when sleeping! (I did this by myself but I think they would be happy to accommodate this request.) the master bedroom doesn't appear to have an AC unit so if you want AC, you probably need to leave the door open (I could be wrong about this though as my parents stayed in that room and I recall them keeping the door open for the AC in the main room).
The apartment comes with juice, some water, and free tea and Italian coffee. You do have to pay the Venice tourist tax directly to them in cash upon arrival, but that's to be expected and stated in the description, so don't let this be a surprise.
Would absolutely stay here again!!!!
