This is a lovely little apartment on the edge of the main centre of Venice. It’s close to the local supermarket, restaurants and the water’s edge. It had everything in it that I needed for a three night stay and enough space to feel comfortable. It was immaculately clean and I don’t think I could have asked for anything more. It even had great free WiFi which was much appreciated in the late evenings when I wanted to upload photos to Facebook for friends.
The apartment is a little dark but I imagine that’s the case for a lot of them due to the way Venice is designed and to be honest, I was out for most of the day so it didn’t matter.
Elena met me at the bus station and walked me to the apartment, offering some wonderful insights about the area that I would never have read in a travel guide. Before arrival, she was quick to respond to messages and explained clearly how to get to the bus station from the airport and which was the best website to buy travel tickets etc.
It was my first Airbnb experience and I hope all hosts are like Elena because she made it seamless for a solo female traveller.
I felt safe in the area and fell in love with the little restaurant on the corner who even cooked off menu for me as I’m gluten free.
I can’t wait to go back and will book with Elena again!
