Irene's place is absolutely beautiful and she's the best host we've ever had. She contacted us a few days before arrival to check in, she met us at the bus stop and walked us to the apartment, she gave us several recommendations and checked in with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. She even left us shampoo and laundry detergent, which is rare! She also left us a bottle of wine, orange juice and water in the fridge and a few small things for breakfast. We are a family of six and the apartment was more than enough space for us. We appreciated the quiet street it was on, tucked back away from the crowds, and we also appreciated the air conditioning (!) as Venice was burning hot! We would stay here again in a heartbeat, it was even better than expected and it helped make our trip to Venice a dream come true. Thank you again Irene!
