By far the most beautiful airbnb we’ve stayed in! Laura’s mother lived in that apartment, so it was decorated well and looked and felt like a home (as opposed to a lot of inexpensive airbnbs that hosts just throw cheap stuff in). My favorite was the beautiful venetian floors. The apartment is very comfortable in a nice, quiet part of Venice. It is more residential than touristy, yet a 10-15 minute walk from the touristy parts (Rialto bridge, Piazza San Marco, etc). It’s also a quick 5 minute walk from where the water taxis drop you off. The location was perfect for us, as we were able to experience Venice like a local, while still easily flung some sightseeing. We really appreciated being about to leave the crazy busy touristy areas and retreat to a quiet, local neighborhood. We met another local that said that you have to TRY to find a bad restaurant in that neighborhood - which is very different than the touristy areas where it’s difficult to find good places with fresh food. To make things even easier, Laura thoughtfully put together a big binder of information, regarding tours, sights, good restaurants, grocery stores, taxi timetables and contact info... and more. It was so helpful, especially the restaurant part as she was recommending places she visits with her family - so you know they’re good! Laura is so sweet, it feels like you’re staying with family (with the privacy of a hotel) - highly recommend this home.
