Victoria is fantastic. She met me in the middle of one of her work shifts because I was delayed getting to check in. She still ran over and made it work, and I was immediately impressed and thankful. Her place is extremely clean. The air conditioning works perfectly. I was a 5-minute walk to the Rialto Bridge and a 1-minute walk to St. Mark’s Square. Perfect location for sightseeing. Also, Victoria gave excellent directions to her place directly from the train station that I arrived at.
I will say one tiny thing, which is that I would recommend bringing bug spray to Venice. Because Victoria’s place (like all other places) is literally right next to the water, there were tons of mosquitos around the outside of the building, and when I’d open and close the downstairs door to get into the building, some would get in and try biting me/following me. This has NOTHING to do with Victoria’s incredible place, and has everything to do with Venice as a whole. I would 10 out of 10 stay here again. But bring mosquito bite repellent! I don’t really see many bugs at home in New York, so that wasn’t something I planned for.
Lovely place. Lovely host. I had an incredible time!
