It is not possible to capture in this review how amazing the apartment and the host were. As veteran AirBnB travellers, the level of hospitality we were shown by the host was the highest without question we have ever received with AirBnB and as high as any luxury hotel/resort as well.
We arrived by train and our host met us on the platform and walked with us to the apartment which was probably a 20 minute walk, but time flew by as she told us about the things we were passing and gave us a load of information from restaurant recommendations to general tour info. She left us with several maps of the city and typed up personal recommendations. She had provided a few things for us in the refrigerator, explained the use of appliances, etc...
The apartment is amazing. The decor is fantastic and the beds comfortable. We had 4 total guests staying comfortably for 5 nights. The Murano glass chandeliers were amazing, the fabric lined walls were beautiful and helped keep the apartment very quiet. The location is perfect for getting around. Dead center of the city and a 5 minute walk to San Marco or Rialto bridge. Everything about this apartment strives to offer an unforgettable Venetian experiance. The bathrooms were very clean and had modern appliances that all worked appropriately. The apartment provided a very comfortable stay.
Upon checkout, the host met us at the apartment and walked with us back to the train station. We were offered a parting gift of pastries and she drank a coffee with us while we waited for the train.
Our host went so far above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay, we could never thank her enough. We are already excited for our next trip to Venice and to stay here again!
Grazie mille!
