This was a beautiful home in an amazing location. It was walking distance (about 8/10 of a mile) to St. Mark's Square and very close to the Vaparetto stop. The home was complete with views of the canals from both the bedroom and living room windows. The windows, when closed, made the home very quiet. When opened, they permitted us to enjoy the hustle and bustle of this amazing town. Maria was an exceptional hostess - she gave us detailed instructions on finding the best restaurants, getting around the city with public transportation, hanging our laundry out to dry venetian style and even suggesting the fruit and vegetable boat for our morning fruit purchases. She had just left when we realized the air conditioning wasn't working and she promptly returned and fixed it. Truly my only complaint would be the quality of the bed linens and towels. They were very rough and it would make this place perfect to replace them. Thanks again Maria for sharing your amazing home with us!!
