Piero's apartment was - by far - the favourite AirBnB I stayed in in Italy. Piero was a perfect host; he always replied almost immediately to my messages, and had the apartment cleaned earlier than check-in because he knew we were arriving at 11 instead of 1pm! He also sent detailed - with step-by-step google images and timetables for ferry buses - to help me find the place. At check-in we had his lovely neighbour, Caroline, help us into the apartment, which is just stunning. The furniture is all quite expensive, no IKEA anywhere. The big windows let in the light and the rooftop ceiling made it quite spacious. Three if us stayed there, and we all slept very well. But the main thing is the view from the balcony. My goodness it takes your breath away. I sat outside admiring the sunset and early morning light ever day we were there. It is located outside the tourist bubble, and we mainly met locals in the quiet streets. It was my favourite area of Venice just because of how quiet and local it was. I have to admit, though, that it was very difficult using the sink and the kitchen because of how small and compact it was, and that between 4-7pm the sunlight streams into the apartment making it very hot. But apart from those little things it was amazing staying there, and I had a really good time.
