We had a lovely warm welcome and were shown around, offered a selection of drinks and given directions to the nearest supermarket. It was really appreciated, especially as we were really tired and it was quite a miserable evening. The trip was a birthday present for my boyfriend and our first experience of airbnb, and I had been really anxious about the house being nice as described, but it was like a dream come true when we found it. The house is absolutely charming, has everything visitors need, and the location is stunning and a perfect base to explore beautiful Venice from. We hope to use airbnb again and it will be such a hard act to follow !
