Anna was extremely helpful and friendly from the moment my partner and I arrived. We were a couple of hours late to meet Anna due to a hold up at the airport, however Anna remained positive and did not show any signs of frustration. Upon reaching the building, unfortunately we did have to carry our suitcases up 3-4 flight of stairs; however the apartment was lovely and spacious with a large terrace/balcony outside. We could tell that Anna lives and loves Venice, and she kindly showed us around the neighborhood and took us to a modern art gallery exhibition which was very interesting. Con: unfortunately there is no air-conditioning in the apartment, and the period we went was quite hot. This resulted in sleepless nights in which my partner and I were bitten by mosquitoes. Pro: the apartment is only a few minutes’ walk from the water taxi stop and in an extremely safe neighborhood. My partner and I wandered around at midnight and there were still people about sitting at the cafes just around the corner. All in all it was a lovely experience and Anna is an extremely kind host.
