The apartment was amazing. The pictures definitely do not do it justice. It was modern, spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished/decorated. Cristina has definitely taken time to perfect it and make it feel like a home from home with all its home comforts.
It was well situated, a perfect location to experience and explore Venice. It is close to the waterfront and the water stops and you can easily walk to the main tourist attractions (St Marks Square). Cristina's communication was excellent on arrival and during our stay, for anything we needed. Her friend came to meet us when we got there, as Cristina was unable to and her friend spoke really good English and was very helpful and friendly.
The heating system was a bit difficult to use but we feel that may be down to our lack of understanding, as Cristina was really helpful the times we did message her. The heating just kept reverting back to the pre-set temperature when we did try and change it and the morning of our departure the hot water took a while to kick in. The apartment had lots of thoughtful essentials such as toiletries, blankets, pillows and even a complimentary bottle of water in the fridge for your arrival.
We highly recommend staying at Dave's house if you are visiting Venice. It really made our trip that much more memorable.
