Venice was our first stop in Italy and my wife and I could not have been more pleased with our stay. The convenience of the neighborhood and the friendliness of the host cannot be beat. Check in and check out were both a breeze. A friend of the host met us at the boat stop and even took the time to give us a quick tour of the neighborhood. The apartment was as charming as expected and superbly clean and tidy. Everything is in walking distance and we were given many recommendations on where to get the most authentic Venetian experience. Would love to stay here again in the future!
