For anyone looking to stay in the heart of Venice, you really cannot find any better place in terms of location. It is very much conveniently located on a narrow street surrounded by restaurants and souvenir shops, and just a few steps away from the water taxi (major source of transportation). In fact, it was so conveniently located that it can be easily missed when walking and following the current of walking tourists flowing in and out of the streets. It was thanks to the host providing a google map and specific directions of the place that my friend and I was able to locate it. The home was beautiful, and more importantly, it has an elevator for anyone with luggage. As you walk through the door, you are greeted by the welcoming staff -- Matilda was very friendly and always ready to answer any questions and recommendations about traveling. The vibe of the home was rather luxurious as the furniture exuded that kind of concept, and things were rather clean. My one-night stay was very comfy and it was definitely a plus that the host is fluent in English. Checking in was smooth, and my friend and I were definitely thankful for the storage room to hold our luggage in as we still had some time left before departing for the airport, but still wanted to further explore Venice on our last day. Thanks for your hospitality, Nikita!
