We had an amazing stay in Gerard's home. The apartment is so beautiful with lots of character and many nice touches like sun hats and books we could borrow. The terrace is wonderful and we loved staying in the slightly more quiet Dorsoduro district which is away from the more touristy areas but in quick reach from everything.
Communication from Lilia was fantastic and check in and out super easy. We can't wait to come back to Venice and stay here again.
