Nico's mom Cristina is a wonderful host, the true magic behind the scenes. She welcomes you into her home which is an elegant apartment, beautifully kept. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean and the breakfast is beautifully prepared and served. The neighbourhood is like a hub where one can head in any direction in Venice. Everything is at your doorstep. Nico responds quickly and conscientiously to any questions. I highly recommend this listing.
