The apartment is one of the best we have stayed in with airbnb, and Riccardo is an excellent host! The apartment is impeccibly clean, and Riccardo really goes above and beyond with making the space feel like home. The location is perfect - close enough to the city to walk anywhere, but away from the loud touristy areas so our nights were very peaceful. There is a market just around the corner from the apartment which was so convenient for picking up food and snacks during our stay. Cooking our meals at home was a pleasure in the beautiful kitchen, and it saved us so much money since all the restaurants seemed pretty pricey in Venice.
