Silvia is the perfect host.
She was not able to meet us but arrange for her friend to greet us at the boat stop and help us to the apartment.
The apartment is centrally located only 5 Min. stroll to Venice's Saint Mark's Place. The building is very well kept,

The apartment is very clean, the beds and linen were clean. The towels had a smell of cigarette smoke. Since we where going to stay in the apartment for a week Silvia allowed us to change the towels.
In the kitchen we found few dirty pots, But all the plates, cups, glasses and silverware were clean.

The bedroom was great with two separate beds as we requested.

I loved the windows in the apartment. Fantastic cross ventilation.

We had to request Toilet paper since there was only half a roll in the apartment. and the was no soap in the bath room. The shower door was not steady and we had a flood the first time we used the shower.

But these problems were taken care of by the host the first day.

We had plenty of Hot water, The TV was great,
( just no English speaking programs) The WIFI was working,

The supermarket was some 10 min. walk..(when I did not get lost)
The Rialto market for fresh veg. and fish is 20 min. walk.

We loved the apartment, the location, and we will come back to Venice again very soon and than I hope to stay at Silvia's apartment if it is available.

Silvia I thank you for all you have done for us. And the Italian breakfast you had left for us for our first morning.

Thanks, and I hope you father will be getting better soon.
