Their apartment was incredible and in an amazing location! When we arrived in Venice, Patrizia met us personally at the vaporetto stop closest to the apartment (which is Rialto Mercado by the way). She personally walked us around, pointing out little spots along the way to eat at and shop. They live across the way and told us not to hesitate if we needed anything.
The apartment super close, safe, and only up one short flight of stairs, which gives you a perfect view of the little market square below. One bit of advice, the fresh fish market sets up every morning right outside; I made the small mistake of opening the windows to “take in the morning air” one morning and instantly regretted it. That being said, you can’t smell fish at all unless you open the actual windows. It’s very neat and authentic but I believe it best observed through glass.
Inside the apartment, it is spacious, clean, stylish, furnished with everything you need to enjoy a great trip and stocked with fresh fruit. For the ladies, and maybe gents, there’s a babyliss hair dryer in the drawer which was a welcomed sight after travel. The queen size bed was great and very comfortable, on the firmer side but ideal for us while traveling. We slept great. I’m a fan of ear plugs when traveling so I would recommend them because of the proximity, my husband said a few of the morning market preparations outside woke him up a little earlier than he had wanted but of course, i lay there sound asleep.
The apartment has three ceiling mounted AC units that crank out cold air and are surprisingly quiet (the one remote works for all). It was still a bit warm in September so these were really great to have. The apartment is situated in such a great location right in the middle of Venice; you can walk anywhere in less than 20 min. We would stop by to unload shopping or use the restroom while we were out during the day/night. Overall, I would highly recommend this Airbnb. You can’t beat the location and the price is seemingly fair.
