There are wonders in the world and Venice as a city is one of them. Staying at "Blue" on Venice, one of the apartments in the Pasti family home was absolutely wonderful. The apartment was perfect for our visit and offered a glorious, relaxing retreat from the crowds in the tourist areas AND the apartment made us feel like we were living in Venice's Renaissance finery.
From the moment that Senora (and Senor) Pasti welcomed us to their part of the world, we felt at home. Senora Pasti gave many great suggestions of where to eat and gave us great advice as to the easiest way to get around the city.
Francesca was and is a dream to work with. Easy to communicate with and prompt with answers to my questions before we traveled. Her directions were perfect on how to wander from the train station (a 10 minute walk) to the apartment and the location of the apartment is central and so easy to reach any of the "6 quarters" of Venice.
I can not say enough about what a wonderful property this is to stay at and the comfort of everything in it. The only down fall about the apartment and Venice was that we had to leave both and return to our own home, but we will be back and hopefully be able to stay at "Blue" again.
For the last note; my husband is learning Italian and had a wonderful time speaking with Senora Pasti!

PS This was our first time using AirBnB, and we found that it was such a pleasant experience, that I will find it easy to use time after time. The images on the website look just like the apartment and although we did not know what to expect, we were all positive about the whole experience.
