Ca’ San Silvestro was a comfortable home base from which to explore Venice.
The highlights:
- The bed was exceptionally comfortable. We never know what to expect when booking through Airbnb, but we had great, restful sleeps every night.
- The location was perfect—close to the action of Rialto and San Marco, but far enough removed to retain plenty of local charm, especially at night. Walk south to Dorsoduro or northwest to San Croce for atmospheric neighbourhoods with less tourists.
- The two balconies were wonderful spots to kick up our feet and relax to the sounds of the city while soaking in the atmosphere. There’s one on each side of the apartment, so you’re able to choose how much sun/heat you’d like depending on the time of day.
The lowlight:
- There were some issues with the toilet not flushing properly. It was probably a simple plumbing issue that can be easily fixed, but it did cause a bit of aggravation.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this flat to anyone looking for a comfortable place in a great location who isn’t fussed about having stylish or modern decor.
