We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Piero's place. Our check-in host, Francesca, was wonderful. She was so prompt with her communication with us and was very patient and flexible with our late check-in. We didn't know that cars aren't able to enter Venice, so we had to take a water taxi (blue line) from the airport to the Ospedale stop. This took about 40-45 minutes. When we got to the Ospedale stop, we were a bit confused and walked to the wrong location since the address provided in the instructions was incorrect. Thankfully Francesca kept in close communication with us and sent us her exact location. We used google maps to locate her in a nearby church plaza and from there we were able to walk a very short distance to the apartment.
When we arrived at the apartment, we were so impressed with the layout and the interior design. We loved everything about the apartment - the aesthetics and amenities were perfect for our needs. Francesca even provided us with a very detailed map of the city! She marked local and famous landmarks and gave so many recommendations on delicious eateries! We took the map around with us and used it as our vacation guide. The next day, Piero checked in on us and made himself available to any questions or concerns. Everything went smoothly during our stay and we did not have any issues come up with the apartment! :)
In addition, the location was perfect. It is about 15 minute walk to the square and is local to many shops, cafes, souvenir stores and restaurants. We walked everywhere and felt safe, even at night! We truly couldn't have asked for a better airbnb to stay in and would 100% stay here again! We would highly recommend this place to anyone for its location, cleanliness and excellent hospitality. Thank you so much Piero and Francesca for the wonderful experience, 5 stars! :)
