This airbnb is a great opportunity to see where real Italians live and at the same time easily get to the touristy areas to see how they used to live! I enjoyed watching fearless, fit senior citizens peddling around on bikes and in and out of street traffic. As for the apartment, I appreciate a clean place, and I also liked the water pressure in the shower. Pretty quiet building. I could hear the upstairs neighbor really well but they didn't make much noise; keep in mind they can hear you just as well too. I really liked how dark it was in the bedroom with the shutters closed. I was confused about how to take out the trash. The trash cans are across the street and there's a green key provided to open the bin. It isn't on the building premises. If you opt to have Matteo pick you up from the airport, the hand drawn map is not exactly correct but not impossible to follow. You use the pedestrian walk way until it hits the first intersection. From there you need to walk in the street as it curves to the right, because there's no sidewalk and there's construction near the gas station. PS Don't be afraid to take the bus to the Venice area as Matteo suggests; the hardest part is buying the ticket at the tobacco shop. Use a translate app!
