Ombra's place was picture perfect. Everything about our brief stay exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival to Venice, Ombra met us at a convenient public location near the apartment to ensure we didn't have difficulty finding her place. Once in the apartment she offered helpful suggestions for things to do and places to eat, and had a map available for us to use. We even bumped into her on the street on Lido on our way to Alberoni beach one day and she recommended a great outdoor snack kiosk and bar to check out at the end of the beach.
The apartment was more than adequately equipped for cooking. The bed was really comfortable. And the open windows (with screens!) at night provided good cross ventilation and relief from the summer heat and pesky mosquitos.
