I truly do not know where to start. We feel like we have made a new best friend with Chiara. Her place felt like home the minute we walked into the apartment. Chiara met us at the bus stop and helped us with our luggage to the apartment. Now the apartment is in the best location you could ever imagine. Just two small bridges and you are there. You are right on the canal is the most quiet of spots. We actually met our neighbors below us and the neighbors behind us and all so very kind and willing to offer help. Chiara offered us recommendations on Restaurants, websites to save money on water bus tickets and events that were going on within the city. Each night we were texting back and forth and she had great ideas for things for us to do. We truly met a new best friend. Each night we would text back and forth how we spent our day and she was there with ideas and suggestions. Her apartment is just down the street so she is close if you should need anything. We spent two weeks in Chiara's home and she was determined to make us feel like it was our home. She succeeded! We felt so at home. Chiara had everything you could possibly imagine in the apartment. She had made sure we had breakfast items such as yogurt, fruit, delicious cakes, juices, sodas, and knowing it was our anniversary a bottle of champagne for us. She also anticipates whatever you could possibly need, there was all bath items you could need, even laundry soaps and a first aid kit which came in handy. We can't begin to describe how much we loved our new friends apartment and the care she gave to us. During the last few days of our trip I had a small fall which prohibited me from doing much walking. Chiara had a friend that came to the apartment with his boat and took us to the airport so that I wouldn't have to use public transportation. I could go on and on about how wonderful Chiara is but I know you really want to know about the apartment and the location. The apartment is bright, so very clean and extremely cozy. If you are familiar with Venice the apartment is just a five minute walk from the bus stop where most people will go when traveling to Venice. There are many restaurants within a two minute walk as well as the sweetest Gelato place around the corner with the sweetest owner who would look for us each night. This is our 6th trip to Venice and our first AIRBNB apartment in Venice. This will not be our last trip and we will for sure use Chiara's apartment on our next trip to Venice. You really want to book this apartment, five minutes you are at the Co-op grocery store, the main water bus location, and within 7 minutes...
