I can't imagine a more beautiful place to stay in Venice! We were tempted to spend our entire stay on Mariacaterina's veranda overlooking the Grand Canal. Any concerns or questions we had were promptly answered. For example, getting to the airport would have been confusing, but she arranged for a water taxi to come to a nearby dock (it's right outside her veranda) and made our trip to the airport a final fun experience for us. Her recommend restaurants were excellent & much fun to visit.
None of us had ever been to Venice before & staying at Mariacaterina's home was a wonderful excuse to return.
