It was my 2nd time in Venice and first time to rent a place through AirBnb. Browsing the listings and mostly relying on reviews, i decided to rent this place for 2 nights. Our party included my parents, my sister and I. Overall, our rental experience was quite smooth, and hassle-free. Paolo was very helpful and organized. A few days prior to our arrival, i received an email with clear directions to the place. His secretary/partner, Titti met us at the apartment and showed us how everything works, and gave us a Venice packet - quite useful information, i must say! We loved that we were tucked in a quiet area, but not far from the usual touristy places. The apartment looked and felt clean, and had plenty of space to move about. Eventhough there was only one bedroom, the sitting/living area can be easily turned into another room - which my sister and I did. Except for the two flights of stairs that unfortunately my aged parents (with our luggages in tow) had to negotiate, this apartment was just perfect. And oh, it was great that we were able to request for a late check-out! Thumbs up for this apartment!
