Valeria was an exceptional host and delightful to deal with. She communicated with us in a timely fashion since we booked. Prior to arrival, she provided clear instructions on how to get from the train station to the vaporetto stop where she would be waiting for us. She gave us a very warm welcome and we walked to the apartment, which is only a few steps from the Silverio vaporetto stop. The apartment is gorgeous, comfortable, extremely clean, well decorated and at a great location near the Rialto Bridge. Valeria had a fresh basket of fruits, milk, eggs, snacks, drinks, etc. waiting for us in case we needed it after our long trip. As many places in Venice, the apartment is on the third floor and there is no elevator (lyft), so you must carry your luggage up to the unit. This is the case in many places in Venice and other old towns in Europe. Don't let that be a deterrent, it's well worth the short workout.
