This was the 7th apartment that we rented through airbnb. All were great. This one was the best by far. It was actually better than it looks in the pictures and sounds in the description! Everything about it was just wonderful. All communication with Pietro was quick and easy, and when we arrived his friend Rita let us in and was quite charming and helpful. The apartment is very large. The kitchen is larger and nicer than it looks in the pictures and was fully equipped with everything you might need. The two bedrooms were also larger and nicer than they look in the pictures. They layout is delightful because there is a door between the bedroom area and the living room. The floor doesn't creak when you walk on it so you don't wake your household when you get up before them. The clothes washer worked great and our clothes dried easily on the drying rack. The two bathrooms are completely deluxe. Each has an amazing shower and beautiful sparkling clean amenities. The beds were comfy and the bedding was nice. There is plenty of space to store your clothes. The apartment has windows on multiple sides, so you can get all the sun you want, and the bedroom windows have very effective shades so you can keep the sun out if you want to. Finally, the location is wonderful. It is right near tons of great stuff (the patisserie Tonolo is dangerously delicious and right up the street), but away from the most intense concentration of tourists (because you and I, of course, are not tourists -- only those other people are!). It's on the second floor, but there is even an elevator for your suitcases. It has everything you could want and will make your stay in Venice perfect. Consider this the highest possible recommendation from a seasoned airbnb customer, and enjoy Venice.
