Our stay in Venice was at the end of a two week Central European trip and our flights home were not ideal. 6 AM flight out of Venice to catch our flight from Amsterdam to US. In addition, it literally downpoured rain on arrival- the first bad weather of our whole trip. Even with these unfortunate events out of anyone's control, our stay in Venice was magnificent. I will list a few pros and cons
Pros- 1- Alberto went above and beyond. From setting up our water taxis to being there at 3:30 AM on check out. It was 5 star service. 2- Venice is such a unique city (it was my first time there) and it needs to be experienced by all at least once. I was initially hesitant to add Venice to our itinerary as I thought it would be the most expensive and most "touristy" but I am glad we did add Venice. While it was the most expensive and busiest stop on our trip, it was also every bit as unique that made it worthwhile. 3- Food- the meals in Venice were probably the best of our trip in total. Excellent cuisine. 4- the apartment is super clean(which we appreciate) and spacious. It had everything we needed.
Cons 1- Wifi(which was more important to my children) wasn't as great as other stops but this is minor. It might be a function of resetting the router which I did not do as I wanted my children to walk around the city and not be on their devices :)
