Irene’s place is truly a hidden gem. The Airbnb is located in a part of the island that is not *as* touristy as some of the other areas. The hotels around her area are pretty pricy, so my friends and I were pleasantly surprised and pleased with our finding.
The apartment is close to the train station and to the bus station, and is truly just a 10-15 min walk from anywhere else. The apartment itself is located on the third floor, so be braced to climb those steps with your luggage! But that itself was worth it for the cleanliness and location. The one factor that surprised us was that there is an additional charge to use all three bedrooms if the party has only 3 people in it. My friends and I opted to use only 2 rooms and ultimately it wasn’t a huge deal, but I would have liked to know that information when booking.
Irene communicated very well with me and my friends, and answered many of my questions before the trip date. She additionally helped us all throughout our stay whenever we had a question with the area or transportation.
We loved our entire stay and would definitely stay again if we ever end up in Venice!
