Make sure you have directions prior to coming to Venice because it can be confusing trying to navigate for the first time. The host is very helpful and will communicate very quickly if you need help or have questions. When we arrived the host gave us a map and wrote down different places to eat or visit. All her suggestions were great! She also introduced us to cicheti, which was our favorite part of the day (ask about it). We had a private room and shared a bathroom and kitchen area. Shower is very unique with a smaller tub. The neighborhood was outside the tourist areas and let you enjoy time with local Ventians. We loved our stay in Venice and it started with our stay at Gibs&Gibs.
