We had such an amazing time at Irene's apartment. It was the first time my husband had stayed in an Airbnb apartment and he couldn't believe how much better it was than staying in a hotel!
The apartment is both small and large! The bedroom is very large but has a very small kitchen (but with everything you could possibly need!) - we loved it
Irene left lots of useful guidance about Venice as well as a map with all her favourite restaurants etc marked on it which was great in trying to avoid the tourist traps in Venice. She also met us (despite us arriving very late) and gave us a tour of the area
This apartment is in the best area in Venice - unless you like being in tourist central! It is quiet and full of locals - the restaurants here actually have proper Italian food at reasonable prices
We would recommend if staying here:
Row Venice - learn how to use a gondola yourself (85 euro for 90 mins - bargain)
Osteria Bea Vita - if Saturday will need to book
Dalla Marisa - would advise booking
