I thought to myself, "A whirlwind trip through Europe...oh yeah...bring my mom and two adult'ish daughter's...why not!"London...went fast. Can't remember much now.Paris...I remember how horrible the hotel was and how amazing the Eiffel Tower was at midnight. Venice...was the ABSOLUTE BEST part of the trip. Hands down. Days prior, the staff at Veniceapartments.com were in contact with me. They offered, and showed me all the ways to get to the apartment. We settled on a Water Taxi, which they arranged for us!My elderly mom, and very tired daughter's, pulled up to the dock at the feet of Rialto's Bridge late in the evening - very tired. Vania was there (I'm sure it wasn't hard picking us out of a crowd) and brought us straight up to the apartment. I could say nothing could compare to the hosts, but after seeing that apartment....well, we were home. No one wanted to leave. 3 days, 2 nights in Venice - and it was Claudia, Vania, and whomever else was on the other end of my phone text chain, and that home, were the BEST, part....period. Thank you for the best experience...
