We recently had the pleasant opportunity to stay at Valeria's flat in Venice. We appreciated so many elements including: lots of pots & pans (truly a wealth of kitchen items), a plethora of "Venice" books and resources, the modern and spacious bathroom and kitchen, lots of windows, comfortable beds and pillows, speedy internet, a convenient and quiet location, additional blankets, juice, water and food essentials, sufficient shampoo and soap, the opportunity to be welcomed and oriented by Rita, and the ongoing and timely communication. Valeria's efforts to ensure a comfortable stay for her guests was evident and much-appreciated. Additionally, we appreciated her communication and support during the recent flooding (We were in the flat the night of the highest flooding in 53 years). Throughout, Valeria was helpful and displayed tremendous concern for our well-being (we were just fine). We sincerely hope that her flat and the rest of Venice, a city we have come to truly love, are quickly able to recover and move forward without further troubles. Thanks again to Valeria for being a wonderful host.
