Catherine was an exceptionally warm host who's photos on here don't do the spirit of her beautiful little place justice! To find such a lovely, cosy nook in Venice is rare, not to mention having your own courtyard and little kitchen to make you feel happily at home. Although the apartment is literally off the street, it doesn't feel as exposed or vulnerable as you might expect and although Catherine is upstairs you have your own entrance which gives you enough privacy during your stay. Extremely well located for the more adventurous Venice visitor, you'll find some of the best bars and restaurants literally around the corner if you're willing to look! This trip was short but made very much sweeter by Catherine's heartfelt homey touch. I hope to return one day again! Merci!!!
