This was our second visit to Beatrice's apartment and it definitely won't be our last. It's places and hosts like this that have made Airbnb such a hit and made us fall in love with discovering new places. Beatrice is a joy to communicate with and nothing is too much to ask and the apartment is a cosy retreat. As always, we really enjoyed watching the gondolas going past the door.
The apartment is in a quiet neighbourhood (easily reached from the airport), so you can leave the tourist frenzy behind, although it's only a few minutes' walk from all the sights. There are lots of wonderful restaurants to enjoy (try the Expecto Patronum pizza at the da Alvise by the Fondamente Nove vaporetto stop - yes, it's really called that) or enjoy a cicchetti walk round the tiny bars nearby
