The place was just as described on the listing page! Francesca met us right at our vaparetto (boat) stop and walked us through Venice to the apt, giving us helpful tips along the way. She was extremely welcoming and nice, speaking English very well. When we arrived at the apartment she gave us the tour, made sure our WiFi was working and then broke down the city on a map. She gave us great recommendations on food (although the $1 spritz she told us about turned out to be $5) and other locations to check out. Maurizio helped us with directions when we were leaving Venice and heading back to the train station, which can be a little tricky since you must take a boat so that was very helpful. Also, I left a few shirts in the closet on accident and they have been in communication with me to send them back to America! Talk about awesome! Great place, great (quiet) location and great hosts. I would certainly recommend this place.

Expect to get lost in this city for at least the first day and a half!
