From beginning to end, it was a dream! Cristina took time in advance to familiarize me with Venice and was available at a moment's notice to answer any questions that we had throughout our stay. The apartment was amazing had all of the loving touches of a home. The four beautiful windows facing the Grand Canal gave us an experience of Venice that we will never forget! We found the location to be exactly where we wanted to be in order to enjoy Rialto with a short walk to St. Mark's Square. We especially appreciated the proximity to the water taxi - especially when it came to unloading our luggage! It was literally 20 feet to the door!! We already are trying to plan our return stay :)
