Here is all you need to know about Venice, and this apartment!
To get to the apartment from Marco Polo Airport use the ATVO bus service - takes about 20mins to get to Venice, bus tickets are 15 for a return and can be bough on Easy Jet flights or from inside the airport.
The bus drops you off at Piazzale Roma - from here it's a 20min walk to the AirBNB, or you can get waterbus 1 and get off near Rialto bridge - we didn't use the waterbus.
The apartment is hard to find - It's at the end of a cul-de-sac along some narrow streets, but this is typical of Venice. Be aware that Google/Apple maps do not work well in Venice, the GPS location of your exact position is not well aligned, so navigation is hard.
However, once you find the apartment it is very nice. Cosy, clean and warm! In the morning you can see locals preparing food for the market. In a good location for Rialto bridge and there is a square with lots of restaurants a minutes walk away.
The check-in process was okay - message the host once you are outside and he unlocks the front door using a mobile app. The host took about 5 mins to open the door once we had arrived, but we did get in eventually! The keys are in an easy to find place, however we did struggle to unlock the front door and had to ask the neighbours to help us - 2 very nice women live upstairs if you have the same issue! Twist the key completely clockwise and then completely anticlockwise and it should unlock.
I suggest you bring your own shower gel/ conditioner as only shampoo is provided. The AirBNB does have a hair drier, towels and sanitary pads which was convenient. The bedding was fresh and the apartment was clean.
Something to note is that there is a very strict rubbish policy which was confusing - in the end, we put our rubbish in a public bin to avoid any fines. (if you walk to Rialto bridge there are lots of bins opposite the market stalls).
Getting to Muranro island is very easy - go to fondamente nove B (15 min walk) and get on ferry 4.2 for 10 return!
Overall the apartment is nice - Venice, however, was difficult to navigate which was stressful at times. However, I would recommend this apartment.
