I think this had to be the best place I've stayed with Airbnb. The apartment was clean, well decorated in the Venetian style and well located near the best area for restaurants and bars which wasn't as crowded as the main tourist hub. St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge are walkable and it's very easy to get to the apartment by boat from the airport. The host, Giuliano, made every effort to make our stay enjoyable: meeting us to take us to the apartment; giving a lot of information to help us plan our visit; providing nibbles and Prosecco on arrival and even bringing homemade Tiramisu midweek. Giuliano seemed genuinely caring, thoughtful and generous and we would love to stay and see him again.
