Cristian met us from the Arsenale Water bus station and we had a really magical few days in Venice. The appartment is compact but beautifully decorated exactly as shown on air bnb. Cristians craftmanship in Murano glass is shown with magnificant tiling in the kitchen and bathroom. The appartment is on the corner of a building and there are 365 degree windows looking down both sides a small canal. This is the classical part of venice 3 minutes from the open water 3 stops from LIDO and beaches and 5 minutes walk from the st marks square. Althought the most touristed cities in europe you feel you are in a quiet neighbourhood. The only noise is the quiet lapping of boats up and down the canal. There are no cars in venice.Cristian went out of his way to ensure our comfort. Prosecco was left in the fridge for us and milk for our breakfast. He warned us of an unexpected strike which enabled us to make our train connection, he made regular contact with us to ensure all was well. I stayed once before for a night in a small hotel in a different area, this accomodation was far superior and I would recommend it hightly for a couple or a small family
I think anyone coming to
