As soon as we met Matilde at the water bus stop my kids said “We can see why she’s a super host.” She led us to the apartment and let us leave our bags until check-in time. She ordered us an airport taxi for our early morning departure, took the time to explain how everything worked, answered our questions, and made helpful recommendations. The apartment was even bigger than we thought based on the pictures. It was super clean, located very close to the water bus, and had a good combination of A/C and wind if we’d rather open the windows. We only stayed 2 nights but wished we had stayed in Venice longer.
