Although it was only for a couple of days I found Viorica and Chris's place perfect for my needs - well situated, modern, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. A 10 minute walk from the central train station down some very picturesque streets... but I could just as easily have taken a pubic boat ride on the main canal to the small ferry stop just around the corner. I now wish my itinerary allowed a much longer stay as I found the city very charming... and Chris a very helpful, likeable and informative host. Would love to come back at some time in the future for a longer visit as Venice has made it to my list of top ten favourite places.
