We absolutely enjoyed Cristina's place. It was comfortable, clean and everything was in good working order. The living area was spacious and the bathroom was very roomy. (American size!) We really liked the "boat house" feel of the apartment and enjoyed the constant boat traffic passing by right out our front windows. The view was absolutely stunning- overlooking the main canal and the island to the south. The location is on the walk of Zattere and was quiet and romantic. It was close to two water bus docks, a great super market and only a 15-20 minute walk to Saint Marc's Square. Christina was great about communicating with us and returned our emails promptly. Unfortunately, she was not able to meet us. Even though the woman who did meet us was very nice, she did not speak English and it made it a bit difficult to understand some things, like how to work the heater. But Cristina was gracious enough to send someone over the next day to show us how to work the heater. Over all, we loved the apartment and the location. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would stay here again ourselves.
