Sofia's apartment was definitely the best we've stayed at throughout our 2 week trip all over Italy. Our only regret was not being able to stay here longer. This is the first AirBnB I've stayed at, where I truly feel like the host is sharing her own unique living space with us, where she truly cared about, designed, and spent effort in every single detail of the entire place. It was truly memorable.
The check-in was effortless. We were able to put down our stuff early since the previous guests checked out early; and Sofia also kindly let us leave a backpack in the hallway to pick up later, so that we can enjoy Venezia until late afternoon. The location was golden. It is 15-20 min walk away from San Marco and all the major tourist area, so it is quiet and charming, but still lively and convenient, with a cute coffee shop/bakery and beer shop a few steps away.
The apartment itself was decorated with the utmost taste and elegance. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the little balcony while watching boats strolling on the canal in leisure, and locals eating breakfast at the sidewalk cafe. It was the best place to stay in Venezia, and I am already planning my return trip here, hopefully soon in the future.
