Mauro is a fantastic host. Best communicator on AirBnB. The place clean, air conditioned, and is almost stocked like your home might be with so many helpful things. And the location is perfect because it’s far enough away from things that it’s quiet and you feel like a resident. Bonus: on the street right off the street of the home, someone’s got the best cat that sits in their window behind a gate. Petting that cat was the start and end to each day.
Tips for staying: the closest water bus stop is actually S. Pietro. But if you want to get some food on the walk home, get off at Arsenalle or the one after. Also, the Biennale museum is a HUGE complex in the area and close. Even closer, though, is another portion of it that’s actually ON the Arsenalle grounds and it’s literally steps from the house. Just walk down the street the house is on and take a right. It’s just over the bridge. Be sure to go down Via Giuseppe Garibaldi for breakfast or even dinner. You can eat dinner, get some gelato to enjoy on your walk, etc. Lastly, be cautious with the stairs INSIDE the home. They’re a little steep but easy to get used to. And the shower is small, but to be expected in Venice, especially such an old and small building. We would 100% stay here again.
