We just returned from 3 nights in Venice, staying in Matilde’s apartment. The apartment is lovely - spacious, well equipped, and very quiet despite being close to touristy areas. We walked everywhere we wanted to go within the St Marks, Dorsodouro and Castello neighborhoods, and nothing was more than 20 minutes from the apartment. Matilde was also a truly amazing hostess. She went above and beyond in helping us with logistics (eg getting from the train station to the apartment), and in making sight-seeing recommendations. Her communication was excellent and we felt very well taken care of. We would absolutely stay with her again!
