This was my first Airbnb experience so I was a bit nervous if everything would work out fine, however everything turned out to be perfect. We were given a very warm welcome by the hosts, who were really kind and took lots of time to explain everything we needed to know about the apartment and Venice itself and shared the interesting history of the apartment with us. Everything was exactly as pictured. Compared to Venetian Hotel rooms which tend to be really small the apartment is amazingly spacious. The location is perfect, only a few minutes by foot from Piazza San Marco and Rialo and a small supermarket is in walking distance as well (though it took us some time to orientate ourselves but getting lost in Venice is an essential part of experiencing the city anyway). We loved the antique interior and the fact that you can hear the Gondoliere passing by below was even better than experienced. For people who intend to cook their own meals the little kitchen might be a bit tight but for us it offered everything we needed, a freezer for cooling drinks and a coffe machine was all we inteded to use. Our hosts were also kind enough to equip the freezer with a bottle of prosecco which was really perfect as we were in Venice in order to celebrate my mothers birthday. So if you are looking for a central place to stay that represents the spirit and history of Venice this is the place for you.
