Sandra's place is incredible! It felt like home from the moment we arrived and made our stay in Venice unforgettable. The apartment is cosy, the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook all your meals. It's actually the best stocked kitchen we've had with Airbnb places. Sandra provides breakfast too, which skyrockets the value of her apartment! You will be given plenty of cereals, toast, jam and fruit to feed you for the week. We even had a large bowl of oranges for use with the fresh orange juice squeezer; a real treat. The apartment is also quiet at night due to its residential location.
Speaking of location, it's just perfect! You are only 10 minutes from Rialto Bridge and 15 minutes from San Marco. The central location also means everywhere is Venice is within walking distance, and you can easily reach a Vaporetto stop at Rialto if you prefer not to walk. The location is out of the thick of the crowds closer to San Marco, but close to all the amenities. You'll find a large Coop around the corner to provide all your food, a fantastic pizza take away (called Crazy Pizza) 5 minutes on the way to San Marco, and a gorgeous chocolate shop 3 minutes away. I stopped in every day to buy a piece of their delicious homemade chocolate! The frittella are amazing too :)
Finally, Sandra is such a wonderful host! The apartment is spotless as she pays a cleaner to prepare it for guests. She meets you at the vaporetto stop to walk to to the apartment, and is in constant contact with you via What's App as you make your way into Venice. Sandra then provided a map of Venice and talked us through all the best places to see and eat. She took her time answering all our questions about what to do in Venice, and we really appreciated it. Sandra is fun, friendly and kind, and we couldn't have asked for a better host or apartment.
Don't even think twice about booking your stay with Sandra; it will be one of the highlights of your trip :)
