Wow, I have stayed in dozens or Airbnb homes over the years but this was, by far, the best experience yet. Dimitri and Valentina (D & V) are amazing hosts and I wish that all hosts were exactly like them. Picture arriving in Venice and being a bit intimidated by the lack of roads and taking water taxis. Not only did D & V make arrangements for us to be picked up at our cruise ship in a car and handed off to a water taxi, they were waiting on the dock where we were dropped off near the unit to walk us and our luggage to our unit and then get us all settled in. Throughout our long weekend they were available via text and phone for tourist help in multiple ways (not help with the unit - it was perfect). The unit itself is spectacular - a building built in the 1500s but completely redone 6 months ago. We looked at multiple hotel options when we were planning our visit and this unit is a much better value - big, modern, beautifully decorated, cool spacious bathroom, etc. And a 3 minute walk to the Rialto bridge.
We can't wait to recommend this unit and D &V to any of our friends who are visiting Venice.
