Cristina's place was so wonderful!! Not only was it right at a vaparetto stop, which made it easy to get straight home after a long day of touring and fun, but the view is the best to be had...It was incredible!! To escape the mid-day sun, we would return to the apartment for an hour or two to rest and freshen up and didn't feel like we were wasting time doing so. While sitting on the couch with the doors open to the Grand Canal, it seems all of Venice parades before you, including serenading gondoliers occasionally gliding by throughout the day. We truly marveled at the view before us! Thank you, Cristina, for your hospitality and for the opportunity to stay in such an amazing place!
