From the time Giovanni met me at the Rialto Vaporetto stop I felt welcome and satisfied we had made a good choice for our stay in Venice. Before our stay Michela had answered all questions and been very informative about how to get to the Rialto stop from Marco Polo Airport. The loft is even more romantic than advertised. The activity in the markets below in the mornings is fun and allows for daily fresh fruit, greens, and vegetables if one wants to do lunch at home. Michela also left an information sheet on restaurants, markets, etc. I've been to Venice many times and this was by far the best stay experience I've ever had !!!
