This is a stunning place to stay if you are planning on visiting Venice. It was my parents first time in Europe and staying at an Airbnb. They truly loved this place. The pictures do not do this apartment justice, the antique furnishing and view of the canal is unforgettable. There is room for a whole family, at least 6 or 7 people could stay comfortably. The location is great too, it is walking distance to a very cute little cafe and the local fish market. And if you are up for a longer walk to check out many shops on your way to Piazza San Marco. We did not get to meet the host, but she was extremely helpful via message communication. She also had a friend meet us at the water bus stop, to take us to the apartment. Her friend was very generous and gave us useful information about getting around Venice, where to eat and visit. I would recommend this place and I would glad stay again!!
