We arrived in Venice during high tide, the highest water levels in 6 years. Being the first time into Venice, we had to wait until dark to take the last Waterbus. Tancredi and team(Ricardo) was a literal lifesaver! What could have been a horrible experience turned into a once in a lifetime experience of knee level water in Venice. Ricardo waited until almost 9pm to meet us at Rialto bridge with boot water covers and even helped us carry the luggage(we had to carry because the water levels were too high). He checked us in, kept us dry and warm, and saved our trip to Venice. If it weren't for Ricardo, we were guaranteed on the streets of Venice without a place to stay, with 4 pieces of luggage, and nowhere to go since the water levels were too high. What an experience! If I could give 10 stars of hospitality, I would!
As for the AirBnb, the rooftop view during sunrise was breathtaking! I'd go upstairs every morning to look at the beautiful clouds and sky after a night of rain in Venice - romantic! the AirBnb was roughly 1 block from Rialto bridge, steps away from gelato, pizza, and other restaurants. As long as you can walk the stairs with your luggage, you will have a great stay in a great location! Thanks for the wonderful time and a unforgettable experience in Venice, even in high tide!
