After our planned stay at an AirBNB in Venice no-showed after we arrived and waiting in the rain for an hour, we contacted AirBnb and they set us up with Gianni who kindly took us in last minute. It probably ended up for the best because his place is better-located nearby to markets, bakeries, bars, cafes and other amenities as well as the bus to the island.
Due to the last minute arrangements, we had a private room with a shared bath on the first floor for the first night of our stay, then a private room with a private bath on the upper floor the second night.
The shared bath’s shower was nice and hot, but it had a little leak or would pool a little bit of water near the commode and the shower head was a little tricky to position but other than this, the bathroom was fine and the bedroom was spacious with a bed large enough for a fairly tall couple.
The upstairs bed and bath were a bit nicer–mostly because the bath was private to the room but also because the shower was much better.
Wi-Fi was a little hit or miss, but there were several businesses nearby with free Wi-Fi so we were able to make do. Gianni was friendly and he was very accommodating. He set up a hotel transfer and his brother took us. The conversation was great and we enjoyed their company. We enjoyed our time in Venice staying with Gianni.
