Xenia's place is the perfect spot tucked away from the chaos of tourists in the heart of Venice. The treck up the stairs to the apartment on the fourth floor is a bit tiring, but completely worth it once you are up there. We enjoyed opening the windows and hearing the markets and restaurants with their music downstairs. To our surprise, in the evening, once the windows were closed, we could barely hear the sounds downstairs and were able to sleep soundly. We very much enjoyed our stay in Venice! Thank you Xenia for opening your home to us and for all of the suggestions for what to do, see, and eat. We would absolutely stay again!
