It was truly fantastic to stay at Antonella's apartment in the Cannaregio sestiere.
The house is nice, and is equipped with airconditioning, which is essential in the hot Italian summers.
Also it's very centrally located, close to all the main attractions. Venice is a beautiful compact city and from the apartment, you can pretty much walk anywhere in Venice in a short amount of time. At the same time the apartment is away from the main streets and busy streets, and is located on a calmer street. You have the best of both worlds here.
Above everything, I really enjoyed meeting Antonella and her husband. They really know what hospitality means.
For example, I asked them if they have any recommendations for a place to drink a Spritz, and instead I was invited to have a Spritz with them! They are very knowledgeable and really know Venice well and are happy to share their knowledge of the city. I learned of a few new places in the city that I had to see. I even made a boat trip with them! It doesn't get much better than that in Venice.
I have stayed at 14 airbnb apartments so far until now. This was my most enjoyable stay by far. If you are going to Venice - look no further for a place to stay.
