If we could give six stars for our experience we would. Elisabetta (and her dog) met us just after the Vaporetto stop so we did not have to figure out how to get to the apartment. It is actually roomier and nicer than the pictures. Despite being right in the center of things - with a view of the Opera out the dining room window - it was quiet and we never heard any street sounds. Particularly in Venice, where it is hard to get around, it is great to be next to the Opera so you can ask directions for your way home. The supplies in the apartment exceeded any expectations. It was easy to communicate with Elisabetta, but we really did not need to. We needed to change dates ahead of time, and she was absolutely accommodating. Coming back to Venice we can't imagine staying anywhere else. Wonderful Airbnb. We could happily live here!
