After two Airbnb experiences (Rome; Florence) that fell well below expectations, staying at Francesco's and Nicola's apartment was a very welcome breath of fresh air. All of the positive/favorable reviews are well-deserved. Communication with me (before, during, and even after) our stay was exemplary. Nicola and/or Francesco responded swiftly to all of my texts. As advertised, the unit is just a short (5 minutes or so) walk from the train station. The directions were easy to follow. Francesco was waiting at the unit upon the arrival of me and my wife. He patiently showed us everything we needed to know about the unit and was happy to answer our questions. Unlike our prior two Airbnb experiences in Italy, this apartment was spotless! That was such a welcome relief. It was also well-stocked with cooking necessities, bath/cleaning supplies, and linens. The new smart TV in the living room was nice. The washer worked perfectly. Even though the unit is on a significant walkway from the train station to Rialto/San Marco, it is quiet at all hours. Overall, an excellent value!
