Our weekend in Venice was delightful, thanks for Lilia's beautiful apartment. We had a wonderful time twisting through the streets of Venice. The beds are comfortable, the living space is nice and open. The A/C was perfect for taking off the heat of the day. All in all a great experience. We communicated with the managers of the host in order to get directions, etc. to restaurants and such. They also guided us to the apartment from the water bus drop off. It is such a great location! A few blocks from San Marco! Outside the apartment is a school for opera singing! We were lucky enough to hear some practicing - and it was amazing! There are lots of stairs - yes - steep and I think we counted 101!! We just made sure we had ALL we needed before starting our tourists day in Venice.
