Our hosts welcomed us by meeting us at the boat/ferry stop in Rialto. From there they guided us through the maze of Venice and delivered us directly to our Villa. They went over all the house information, provided us with a map and recommendations. The listing was accurate as pictured and the best part of it all were the balconies over the canal. Absolutely a quintessential Venetian dream! Love my Google Maps, T-Mobile worldwide coverage and a decent sense of direction to guide us through the maze Venice is. Our hosts were gracious enough to provide us with fresh fruit, yogurt, water, juice milk toast, jam and tea! Overall a great experience. Oh, and we able to leave our luggage during the day while we explored the city until our departure. Thank you!
