We absolutely love Xenia's place!❤️ The entire flat was clean, cozy, spacious and just few minutes walk to St. Mark's square and other main tourist attractions and 3 minutes walk from Giardini boat stop.Xenia was a really good host as she got in touch with me a week or so before the date of our arrival in Venice. Few days before we arrive, Xenia informed us of the transport strike (which was a bit unfortunate) and has been updating us constantly via email of any changes and gave us a really clear and straightforward instructions on which boat to get, where to get off and how to reach her place by foot. She replies quickly to all my emails which was really awesome. Once we reached her place, i was really happy as it looked exactly how it was on the photos and she was even so kind to put the air conditioning unit on ahead of time so the place was really nice and cool when we got there. Just what we needed after walking about 25 minutes from Rialto (due to the strike) in a very hot day with all our luggages. Xenia was really hospitable and gave us very helpful tips on which main attractions we should check out,good places to eat and how to get the other islands. It is our first time to book an airbnb and it was such a good experience. I would definitely recommend Xenia's place to anyone who would visit Venice.
