This is probably the best Airbnb that we have stayed anywhere. After being through a big part of Italy, starting in Rome; I can easily say that Venice was my favorite city of the whole trip. A lot of it also has to do with the welcome, suggestions, recommendations, and the little bit of history shared from Salvatore.
Salvatore's apartment is in a neighborhood which is relatively quiet, yet you walk some 50 meters and you are close to many restaurants, shops, vaporetto (water bus); and 10 minutes walk from Piazzale Roma and Ferrovia, which are the hubs to get in and out of Venice.
The apartment is in a historic building yet it boast very modern appliances and furniture. All in all, it is an extremely confortable apartment. Extremely clean!
Salvatore is one of the best host we have ever deal with in Airbnb. On top of great communication well before our arrival, he gave us a little tour of the city on the way to the apartment; after waiting for us at the train station.
The restaurant recommendations from Salvatore were spot on.
If you want to have a great stay in Venice, stay at Salvatore's apartment and you will have already part of your trip maximized for your enjoyment.
