This was my friends and I first time in Venice and our accommodations were exceptional. Roberto was very attentive to our needs and communicated well with me via Airbnb messenger. Anytime I had a question during my stay, he messaged me right away and was very fast in responding. The apartment was super spacious and very clean with all of the essentials that we needed for our stay. Each room was very comfortable and cozy. It was a nice touch to have several bathrooms. The location was great and in a very peaceful neighborhood.
Venice is a beautiful city that is completely surrounded by water and there are no cars so you have to get around on foot or by boat. Everything was within walking from the apartment. On the day we arrived, the water taxis were not operating so we hired a porter to transport our luggage to the apartment which was a 15 minute walk. It’s amazing how Venetians live so simple and get around without cars. I was thoroughly impressed.
Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short due to a strike that we found out about while in Venice, so we left on the evening of our last night There was a planned strike on the day we were supposed to depart which would’ve caused us major travel delays getting to our next city. I informed Roberto of our early departure and he was very helpful in that. We were able to catch an evening train back to Rome before the strike kicked in the next morning so we were very grateful for that. Overall, I would highly recommended staying here and will be returning on my next visit to Venice.
My only suggestion is to bring a universal charger outlet if you are traveling from the U.S.A. The outlets in the apartment are European outlets and are not compatible with U.S.A plugs.
