My wife and I traveled to Venice for our honeymoon not knowing what to expect, and Adriana made us feel like family. We were in contact via AirBnB messenger before our trip, and she went out of her way to answer any questions we had about getting to the beautiful city of Venice from the local airport. She even met us at the water taxi stop that was minutes from her beautiful home. Once we arrived at her house, she went over a few things such as which key to use in order to lock the house and front doors. She showed us our loft above her flat, and it was truly magical. There was a little table with coffee cups, breakfast snacks, and coffee/tea. She provided us with maps of the city, water and juice that was refrigerated in a little wine fridge, and bathroom towels. The loft we had a view of one of the many water canals from the bedroom. In addition to our own private bathroom, we had unlimited access to our own rooftop deck. We had our morning coffee there several times while overlooking the canal and people watching. Adriana was very personable and friendly. She gave us advice on which places the locals eat an drink the wonderful coffee in Venice. We would communicate by leaving each other messages on a little note pad by the bottom of the stairs from our loft, just in case we didn't cross paths at some point during the day. On our last night there she even helped us purchase museum and train tickets for our next city stop in Italy. We talked about our personal lives and our future plans. She shared her many life experiences traveling all over the world and about her life in Venice. When my wife and I come back to Venice, we will definitely stay with her again. Adriana made us feel welcome, safe and most of all, like family. We highly recommend her to anyone willing to stay in a beautiful home near the heart of the city and within 10 minutes of the main tourist areas. We want to thank her once again for helping us have an unforgettable 2 days in Venice. We already miss Venice and Adriana. Ciao!
