Being that this was my first solo trip from the US to Europe I was a bit on edge, especially when it came to where I planned on staying. Prior to selecting Malika's apartment I had another listing booked that didn't quite make me feel as though I would enjoy my stay in Venice. Last minute, I booked my stay with Malika and I must say it was the best decision I made my entire trip. Malika welcomed me at the boat station, showed me the apartment and gave me some amazing tips and tricks on how to navigate the town. She was so sweet and welcoming! I was fully prepared to tackle my adventure once she left me. I felt right at home! The apartment is in a great location as well which made getting around pretty easy. I truly enjoyed my stay and would book with Malika again whenever I return to Venice!
