Monica was an amazing host! She warmly welcomed us with coffee and tea and took the time to answer all of our questions. Not only did she share a map and suggest daily itineraries, she also engaged our interest in the history of Venice and a longer term stay, with great conversation and recommendations. The room and private bath were lovely, clean and even nicer than appeared in the photos—a quiet and restful haven. The location was convenient to the Rialto bridge and market, Piazza San Marco, the train station, and vaporetto to the airport. Perhaps most wonderful of all is the quiet neighborhood of north Cannaregio with hidden treasures and few tourists. We would definitely stay here again!
