After just one hotel night in Milan, our stay in Venice was the first half of our first family trip to Italy that we have planned for more than two years.Communication with the host, Elisabetta, was fantastic. Although a normal check-in was scheduled for mid-afternoon, Elisabetta offered an earlier check-in which we were quite happy to take advantage of, and enjoy more time in Venice. Her son Giorgio also offered to meet us at the train station and guide us to the property for which we were very grateful. Once at the property, Elisabetta met us personally to welcome us to her home, show us the property features, and provide tips on the area. This was outstanding service and I can’t remember the last time that a host provided such outstanding in-person service.Having now spent 4 days enjoying many different Venice experiences, I can say that this property location is fantastic because it is central on the island. Every possible destination on the island was only a 10-20 minute walk through beautiful alleys full of quaint cafes, shops, churches, and museums. As a bonus, the property was located on a corner from a wonderful piazza loaded with cafes, restaurants, grocery store, and morning fish/produce markets. We were also very comfortable staying at the property after a long day exploring. The kitchen was fully stocked. The bedrooms were comfortable. The showers were hot with good water pressure. We would absolutely love to stay at this wonderful property again!
