Anna's apartment proved to be everything we could wish for and more.
From detailed information before we left the UK, to landing at Marco Polo, Anna and Roberto were constantly in touch to make sure we knew what to do. We were allowed an earlier check in as our flight was in the morning.
Roberto messaged us on the Alilaguna to inform us that a lady called Matilde would meet us at Rialto. She was there as we got off and walked us the short route to the apartment.
In a little, tucked away square, we climbed the stairs to a grand yet homely retreat. Beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean with every amenity that was needed for a short stay. Matilde threw open the shutters as the bells chimed on cue and we were treated to a beautiful rooftop view of the Campanile Di San Marco.
Matilde went through everything in the apartment, suggested restaurants and bars and reassured us that if there was anything we needed, they were just on the end of a phone.
My sister and I were staying with my parents as my dads 80th birthday treat. It was lovely to have two bathrooms and two kitchen areas and it gave everyone that bit of space.
The location was perfect as it was near enough all the 'sights', but also quiet and private and very easy to find from St Marks .
This was our first airbnb stay and it has set the bar ridiculously high! There was nothing that could be improved upon, it was perfect.
Matilde' s husband met us at check out and as guests were arriving, he walked us the short distance to a bag drop station where we were able to leave our luggage. We could then enjoy our last few hours in this amazing city.
We would not hesitate to return and would just like to thank Anna, Roberto, Matilde and her husband for collectively ensuring our stay in Venice was quite simply perfect! Thank you x
