It was our first time in Venice and we are really happy to have come accross Francesco's apartment on Airbnb. We were welcomed by a co-host who explained everything and gave good tips. Francesco left us a bottle prosecco in the fridge to welcome us too which was a nice touch. The place was much bigger than we expected it to be. It even had a walk in closet where we could hang dresses and suits and get ready for the carnival. It was very clean - something that is always important to us. We had everything we needed. We didn't cook much as we were only a few days there, but the facilities are there and we would have if we stayed longer. We were happy that there was a filter coffee machine and a Bialetti espresso maker. Around the carnival time there will always be some noise until late, but I must say it was a lot quieter than we thought it would be for an apartment close to all main attractions and it definitely stopped later on. We will definitely go again!
