Venice may be one of my favorite places in Italy. Nikita's home was in an amazing part of Venice - walking distant to cafes, restaurants, shopping, transit (by boat!), gondolas, fruit and fish markets and some unvelievable tourist sites. Go out really early to experience the calm before the storm of tourists. We can't thank Nikita enough for his wonderful home, for being so accommodating to our late arrival time, for helping us book fast trains to our next designations and for being so warm, welcoming and friendly. The bed was so comfortable and we highly highly recommend Nikita's place to stay if you are planning a trip to Venice!
