This location is one of the best in town, that is, if you are a traveler who needs to get away occasionally from the crush of tourists. The immediate neighborhood is also just “cool.” The restaurants close by are better than in most busier parts of the city. The closer to the apartment these neighborhood restaurants are, the better they tend to be. The host, Carlo, has some good recommendations for local restaurants. There is excellent grocery shopping a few blocks away. If you like the painter Tintoretto, there are several of his paintings very close by in the church, La Madonna dell'Orto. Also, you have easy access to more than one vaporetto line. The 4 and 5 boats north of the address often are less crowded than the usually packed #1 boat to the south. As for the apartment itself, it is well designed and attractive, as the photos show. If anything, the place seems nicer and more spacious than the photos suggest. The two bedrooms are big, and the beds are really comfortable. All the appliances are top-of-the line—so top-of-the-line that I had trouble figuring them out sometimes. Carlo was patient helping me with all that. I probably relied on him more than I have relied on any other airbnb host. In fact, he swung by one day when he was in town and went over some things that he felt were easier to explain in person, which is pretty special.
