Our stay in Silvia’s apartment in Venice was wonderful. The apartment is large, sunny and the rooftop views from 2 of the bedrooms are breathtaking. The kitchen is well stocked and my husband, who loves to cook, was tempted to cook a dinner (but I dissuaded him ☺) As others have said before, Silvia’s husband came to meet me at the Vaporetti stop that is just 3 minutes from the apartment. Silvia and Petro were always extremely prompt in responding to my emails and texts, and that gave me confidence that this would work out ok, as it was my first AirBnB experience. Great way to start! I had been worried about the heat at night (no air conditioning) and so I asked Silvia if she would mind purchasing a 3rd fan for the 3rd bedroom and she did so without issue. The location is ideal – very close to all points of attraction in the San Marco area, yet this particular building is very quiet at night, so you can sleep soundly. The bed mattresses are quite hard (although I found that to be the case throughout Italy) and only one small hard pillow is given per bed; my only suggestion for improvement would be to either supply more pillows or replace them with larger and softer ones.
