This was , hands down, the best experience we have ever had at an AirBnB anyplace in the world. The apartment is beautiful and fully appointed with every amenity. Air conditioning, wi-fi, washing machine, dishwasher, absolutely everything. Best of all is the fantastic and peaceful garden! So unexpected in Venice!
But best of all was Elena. There has never been a nicer and more accommodating hostess. She was fantastic. So kind and so considerate.
The apartment itself is located on Santa Croce, just a short walk and vaporetta ride from San Marco and the Rialto. Avoid the congested tourist traps around San Marco and instead stay in the beautiful Santa Croce area. It is much more serene and far less crowded. There are excellent restaurants, bars, and a fantastic bakery right around the corner.
The apartment was beautiful with incredible colors, large spaces and very comfortable beds. It is stocked with hundreds of classic novels in multiple languages and the water taxi can pick you up and drop you off right at the front door. No need to hire a porter or roll bags through the city.
