Claudia’s place was exactly as we expected based on the pictures. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We loved the location—close enough to walk to restaurants and explore other parts of Venice, but far enough away from the main touristy area. The apartment itself was well equipped and nicely furnished. My only complaint was that despite keeping the windows closed, mosquitos kept getting in somehow—perhaps unavoidable in a place with lots of mosquitos like Venice!
