Ricardo's Airbnb was the best experience I've ever had using the site. Not only was the apt itself impeccable, but it was in a great location close to Venice that was still quiet and felt very safe. Ricardo was a wonderful host - very helpful in recommending sites to visit, picked me up and dropped me off from the train station, and even (for a fee) picked up my boyfriend from the airport because we arrived separately. Also had some great conversations with Ricardo; it felt like I had special insight into life in Italy beyond what the ordinary tourist gets to see. Ricardo's home is a must stay for your visit to Venice.
