Guesthouse Abatea was fantastic. The location is great and the instructions the host provides to locate the AirBnB are so simple and clear, which was very much appreciated after a long day of travel with a heavy backpack. It’s extremely close to San Marco (seriously - like two minutes walking distance), very swanky shops, and only 3-4 minutes walking distance to one of the San Marco vaparetto stops which is super convenient. It’s also only a 7-8 minute walk from the Rialto vaparetto stops - again, super convenient. There are several restaurants nearby, including a great little spot for a cappuccino and croissant just around the corner (kind of across from the sunglasses shop). I think the best part was the in-room AC unit. I’m from a southern state in the US and we love our AC. I find that Italians don’t turn their AC as low as us Americans (totally fine - it’s just a cultural difference), but it was extremely nice to come home after a very hot and humid day and be able to stand in front of a cold AC. The bed and linens were very comfortable, everything was very clean and modern, and it was very quiet. The room is large and welcoming, and the bathroom was a nice size as well (for European standards) and impeccably clean. I only came across other guests once and they were very friendly. There are two flights of stairs to get to the place, but that wasn’t a problem for me. I would recommend keeping that in mind as you pack, but narrow staircases are a common theme in Italy so I’d recommend packing lightly no matter where you go. Check in and out is super easy too. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. 10/10 would recommend to everyone and would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for a great stay in Venice!
