Giving information regarding the area,
Collect city tax from guests.

This will be part of a usual 5-hour work day. I'm happy to discuss the duration of your work day being flexible across the week, depending on the needs of the guest house and your plans.
I want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, in my home and in my region.

You would be more than welcome to put together a breakfast menu for our guests, and offer this to them each morning, and also to arrange a tour of Venice for the guests once you get acquainted with the city yourself. It would be a great enhancement for the guests, and you can offer these at a reasonable price as suits your talents.

These rules aren't just for us, but also for our guests. This makes sure that the space is safe, comfrotable and welcoming for everyone! I would love your help to make sure this happens when I am otherwise busy working.
