I can’t get over how perfect of a location this is for Venice. You can get best of the both sides of the Rialto bridge. When you step outside, to the right is the Rialto and gorgeous views of the canal. To the right is incredible food and drink and hidden gem neighborhoods you must explore.
Most importantly, however, the air bnb is right around the corner from Antico Forno. GO GET PIZZA THERE. Absolute best pizza in the city. It’s also nearby Cantina Do Mori, the oldest wine bar in the city.
My only advice: Prepare yourself for the walk over the Rialto bridge if you’re carrying luggage. There are no ramps, just dozens of steps!
Also, keep in mind it’s a bit tricky getting to the airport. If you’d like to avoid the water taxis, what my mom and I did is walk to the Piazzale Roma bus stop. There’s an aerobus there or taxis that can get you straight to the airport.
Of course I wouldn’t know any of this without Susanna’s help. She was incredibly helpful and available throughout our stay. When we arrived she saw we were tired and helped carry our bags up the steps. She kept the room very clean and even had a breakfast tray made up for us every morning. She made our stay in Venice so comfortably pleasant. It was a great week.
I hope to return to Venice one day and it’s a no brainer where I’ll be staying.
