Absolutely amazing place, and host, to stay in Venice! About the flat, it is in a great location close to nearby restaurants, a grocery store, and walkable to many attractions. It is lovely to be on the water and be able to open the windows and hear the canal and boats go by, and at the same time the air conditioning unit was perfect for keeping cool during the day and at night. The design of this place is just awesome, everything is so intentional and efficient, and the shower lights are just super fun. Bed was comfortable, the sound system is great with an excellent choice of CDs, the projector was perfect for watching Formula 1 in the afternoon, and the fridge had ample space for leftover pizzas and prosciutto (as well as being stocked with water and soda!). Bathroom is excellent and well designed also, with everything you could need in the way of towels, flip flops, bath mats, etc.
Even better than the flat, Alessandro is an awesome host, someone who is excited to show you the city. The boat in the listing drew me in, and Alessandro delivered with an amazing boat ride around Venice, a new experience for me after years of traveling to Venice as a tourist. He gave many good recommendations for food, and drinks, and it was truly great to get to talk and learn from a Venice native. Check-in was simple, meeting him right out front of the Airbnb, and for check-out as well.
Truly awesome place, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone traveling to Venice. Absolutely a gem, thank you Alessandro!
