Maura/Pietro were great hosts. When we arrived, there was some construction in the canal and Maura showed us another apartment across town. We ended up sticking with the original apartment because the construction only happened during the day, so the evenings were free to cook dinner, sit out on the sliding glass door, drink wine and talk to people as they floated by in their gondolas. The apartment was clean and beautifully decorated. Maura gave us some great dinner recommendations away from the noisy tourists and showed us where the grocery store is. This was the perfect honeymoon getaway!
