Cristina's place was a great place to stay for our first time in Venice. It was close to many restaurants and public areas of interest, as well as an easy walk to just about anywhere else. Cristina herself was very helpful, showing us and marking a map of Venice for us with points of interest and restaurants to visit - and she even left us an Easter treat! The only downside was that we are VERY early risers and there was a limit on times for showering that did not match up with our usual schedule. However, such is Venice! Many shops don't open until 10 am anyways. We would definitely recommended this place for anyone looking for a good nights sleep in Venice!
