Orietta’s apartment was absolutely beautiful and had every amenity imaginable. Her attention to detail is unparalleled which made this the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. There are so many things to highlight, I’m sure I unfortunately missed a few.
First, the apartment was extremely clean and there were several sets of body, face, and hand towels and bath and body soaps / lotion which is very convenient.
Second, there was a washing machine / dryer (and additional clothes line), laundry detergent, and iron / ironing board if you need to do laundry, which we did because we were traveling for a few weeks.
Third, the apartment was stocked with espresso pods, little snacks, pasta, juice, and even Prosecco, in case you wanted to cook anything (being that we were in Venice we obviously wanted to eat out every meal to try all the amazing food, for which Orietta provided several suggestions, but the option was there which was lovely).
Fourth, the apartment location was perfect! A little off the beaten path away from all the crowds, yet everything was a 5–15 min walk away. Moreover, around the corner from the apartment was a street lined with our favorite restaurants. (Vino Vero, right around the corner, had some amazing cicchetti.)
Fifth, the check in experience was flawless. Orietta stayed in touch with us via the Airbnb app throughout our travels from Lake Como, to the airport, to the island and gave us very detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment. She was waiting for us right outside the apartment and showed us where to find everything in the apartment when we arrived.
Lastly, and this was a truly kind gesture that went above and beyond, the reason for our trip was my girlfriend’s 30th bday and Orietta wrote us a beautiful note and had fresh roses in the apartment for my girlfriend when we arrived.
What an amazing experience staying with Orietta was! I cannot recommend this enough.
