This was out first AirBNB experience and it was pleasantly very much as expected.

The apartment was exactly as advertised, with the exception being the roof top terrace was more amazing than imagined resulting in a truly magical experience and photos of the Venice rooftops. The 360 views were outstanding and made the steep difficult climb up 4 narrow flights in this 1839 building (especially with luggage) worth the effort.

The location is outstanding and easy to find after a confusing day of shopping. On our first night, the air conditioner leaked water, but after reporting the issue next morning, Christina arranged for a repairman and had it promptly repaired. Venice has something like 120 Churches, and there is an old next door that chimes early in the morning and although we found it charming, some might find it annoying.

When we arrived, we were met at the dock by a pleasant representative that escorted us to the apartment and familiarized us with the details and helped relieve some of our anxiety related to visiting an unfamiliar place. The appliances and bathroom fixtures are a little dated, but otherwise functional and adequate. You would want to rent this apartment if you value the view from the rooftop deck and the location above modern creature comforts.
