The apartment is fantastic and the location perfect. It is close to all the sights in Venice and has two vaporetto stops nearby, yet the apartment is tucked away in a quiet courtyard just a few streets away from the crowds. This apartment is exactly why we stay in Airbnbs when traveling and not in hotels - we felt as if we were living in an Italian home.
As other reviews have stated, the apartment is far larger than it appears in the pictures. The pictures also do not show the excellent second bathroom that contains another shower (large for Europe) and washing machine. The kitchen even has a dishwasher. Being right on the Grand Canal (with a view of the Accademia bridge from one room) was an amazing experience and our three young children loved watching all the boats traveling past. Overall, Marina is a great host and her apartment is clean, quiet, safe and magnificent. Next time in Venice, we would love to stay here again.
