This was our first airbnb experience and it was fantastic! Ilaria met us at the vaporetto station and took us to the apartment which is just fabulous...brilliantly situated and beautifully furnished. We had all our meals on the little terrace on the roof which is literally a stone's throw from the Piazza San Marco (about 5 minutes' walk) and about 7 minutes from the Rialto. The apartment which is spotless, has every mod con..the bedrooms, living room, and bathroom are spacious and the kitchen well equipped. It is situated in an amazing part of Venice full of restaurants and take-aways. Ilaria was so kind she even arranged for us to come back later in the day to fetch our luggage after we had checked out. I have stayed in plenty of cramped, ridiculously expensive hotel rooms in Venice but this was in a different class and I would give it a 5 star rating! We can't wait to go back! Thak you!
