This was the first “all Airbnb” overseas trip for my wife and I as we visited Venice, Florence, Rome and Tuscany. Ivan’s place was our favorite.
Ivan emailed options to get to his place and we took the Orange Line water bus to the Guglie stop, where he met us. He helped carry our bags on the walk to his place and pointed out sights and restaurants along the way. When we arrived at his unit, he took care of business quickly, gave us more restaurant recommendations. His kitchen was stocked with great supplies and treats, unlike the other Airbnbs we used.
The unit has distinct living spaces that met our needs. It is in a good area with lots of activity, close enough to all the Venice tourist sights if you are in decent walking shape, yet still felt off the beaten path. There are a few idiosyncrasies that you expect in a building of this vintage (many steps, slow hot water), but nothing that dampened our overall experience.
Thanks, Ivan!
