Marisa’s place was about two minutes from the waterbus stop and about 10 minutes from the train station. There are several bakeries, market, and supermarkets within 5 minutes of place. Our host was Francisco and he was very accommodating being that we were late for check-in due to our luggage getting lost by the airlines.
We were a family of five (two men, two women, and a preteen). This was our first time staying in an Air B&B and were very wowed by the placed when we walked in. More modern, airy, and brighter than expected. The bathrooms were very nice and appeared to be newly renovated. The showers are typical European size. The bedrooms upstairs were cozy but was enough space for what we needed being that we did not spend much time in there. There is a very cute area upstairs right outside that bedrooms, which is where we congregated the most. The place was very clean with extra blankets, pillows, a cot, pots, dishes and small bars of soap. There is a school not far from the apartment and they do make noise as they wait for school to start; however, we were waking up by this time so it did not bother us.
Initially we were assigned one host, which changed once we arrived to Venice. Our original host sent a message asking us to contact a different person, which I totally missed due to the chaos at the airport. Inadvertently, I contacted the original host to let him know we arrived and he was pretty rude and did not appear to be understanding of our situation. I am glad that Francisco turned out to be our house because he was very nice and helpful.
