This is our first time using Airbnb and it went very smoothly thanks to our host Laura. She was very prompt at answering my questions and had someone greet us and show us around when we arrived. The apartment was beautiful and very well appointed - there were two bedrooms, a bright bathroom and washing machine, kitchen with stove, kettle, microwave oven and espresso coffee pot, perfect for coffee drinkers like me! It was a good sized apartment for my family of four. We were overlooking a canal and the breeze through the wood-shutter windows always kept us cool. We enjoyed walking to St Marco Square exploring all the fantastic churches and shops along the way. The train station was also walking distance but we caught a water taxi for convenience. It was a very authentic experience and one we won't forget. Hopefully we will be back one day. Laura
