We have stayed 3 times at Airbnb apartments in Venice and they have all been to a high standard. The present one is no exception. However, this is my experience of my 3 Airbnb stays in Venice. Those at first contact have not been hosts but agents who know little or nothing about the apartment, especially where they are. We are told to communicate only though Airbnb but if you do, you won’t contact the true host. GPS navigation to the address ain’t going to crack it and flags posted in the directions maps are too approximate to be of value. This means that you must use a non-Airbnb contact with the true host that operates the apartment if you really want to find out where it is. The entrances to most are in obscure locations so you will need someone on the ground to guide you to the door.
