Even though we had a late arrival in Venice we were met by Christina's daughter Sandra and taken directly to our apartment. The apartment is charming and very comfortable. We are an adult family of 5 and there was more than enough room. The kitchen was well equipped and the apartment very secure. It was also great to be within walking distance to everything and to have a local shop close buy. Sandra told us about the green and fish markets which we thought were fantastic - the first day though we were a little late but still able to get great food but I would advise going before 11 - but also about the best coffee spot and ice cream shop - both were excellent! I would highly recommend staying here as it is away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to be part of it if you wish. Even though we did not get to meet Christina she was in contact to make sure everything was ok. There was also lots of information and maps for us in the apartment. I would certainly recommend this apartment and if I am again lucky enough to visit Venice I would not hesitate booking with Christina again :) Thanks again Christina and Sandra...
