Sofia gave us a very warm welcome. Of all the places we stayed in Italy, Sofia's home was the best. It looks exactly like in the pictures. She helped us figure out places to visit in the short stay we had in Venice. She had left fruits for us on the table, everything you need to make yourself comfortably fed was there, very thoughtful of her. It was all very neatly arranged. The place had everything we wanted and the view from the balcony was beautiful, just the way I hope Venice would be. Sofia was a wonderful host and if ever we come back to Venice, we know where we're staying. :) Thank you so much Sofia!
