My husband, niece, and I visited Italy for the first time. We visited Rome, Florence and Venice. Venice was our favorite and much of this was due to Silvia's wonderful apartment, its prime location, and her generosity while we visited. I cannot recommend her listing strongly enough! In fact, I asked my niece to rank our accommodations in each city. Although we stayed in beautiful, highly-rated hotels in Florence and Rome, Silvia's apartment won hands down.

Silvia was a wonderful host! She met our water bus, walked us to her beautiful apartment and gave us a comprehensive tour. She then suggested restaurants, marked them on our map, and provided cards from each establishment. She checked-in with us throughout our visit to ensure that everything was going well. Finally, she provided details about how to contact a water taxi for our ride back to the airport.

Her apartment was exactly as pictured and in a wonderful neighborhood. Silvia provided fruit, coffee, juice, water, eggs, bacon, pastries, etc. There was nothing that we needed that was not already provided for us (including Wi-Fi).

We can't wait to visit Venice again. When we do, we will surely plan to stay in Silvia's apartment again!
