Amazing place + even better hospitality! Pietro is a SuperHost for a reason - the man has this down to a science. From the moment we booked this place, Pietro was fantastic with communication - he was extremely easy to get in touch with and super fast with responses to our questions. He worked with us as our train schedules were a bit in flux both before check in and after check out (he held our bags for us since our train was a bit later than the check out time). Pietro gave us very specific instructions to meet him at the valporetto/boat stop and walked us to the apartment, feeding us little tid bits about the area that we were living in as well as the nearby restaurants and places to check out. Once we arrived at the apartment he gave us the most thorough walk through we had received from an airbnb host (in perfect English) during our 2 week visit to Italy. He also has a map that he gave us and spent about 10 minutes circling places that he recommended based off what we were hoping to accomplish during our time in Venice. All of the restaurants, and osterias/barcarias for Cicchettis (Venitian tapas) he recommended were on point and felt less touristy and seemed like places where the locals frequented. The apartment itself was recently renovated and was perfect for four people and had everything we needed to cook and do laundry! The location was solid and pretty close to the Rialto bridge by walking. I would recommended getting the $20 day pass for the valporettos so you can take the boats from the San Stae stop to wherever you need to get since itse relatively easy to get lost when walking around. Overall, 5+ stars to this amazing place and amazing host!!
