Rachele was an amazing host. She picked us up from the water taxi and lead up through the city to her apartment- which would have been very difficult without her guidance. She gave us AMAZING recommendations for spots to eat and drink and was very kind to us. The location was perfect as well, only 10 minutes tops from everything we wanted to see. The only issue we had with the apartment was the door and lock. I know buildings in Venice are very old, but the door had a special “trick” to undoing it which proved rather difficult with us spending over a half hour trying to open it some days. Rachele did answer quickly guiding us through the situation and offered to come and show us again, but even when we did get how to open the door, we were still very nervous and wary of not being able to get back in. Overall, it’s a great place to stay for a visit to Venice and even better if you’re handy with locks!!
