First of all, Ivonne’s place is the first Air B&B that me and my girlfriend have stayed in , and wow...the bar has been raised exceptionally high!
From the initial booking stage, Ivonne was in touch promptly via email with a map and directions to her b&b, which were very easy to understand. Upon arrival, her daughter awaited us at the front door and led us up the stairs to the b&b. As we entered, we were completely in awe of how beautiful and traditionally Venetian Ivonne’s place was. We instantly fell in the love with the ‘Princess Room’ and felt very safe there. The room boasts a super comfy/large double bed, en-suite shower room, dressing room and three opening windows offering plenty of natural light/fresh air. There’s also a beautiful terrace to the top floor of the b&b offering peaceful views over the local neighbourhood and canal below.
Location wise, it is absolutely perfect for exploring all the main attractions that Venice has to offer. A few minutes walk to the Rialto Bridge and probably a further 10/15 to Saint Marks Square. On our first day, we covered pretty much every district in the city on foot and both agreed that Cannaregio was our favourite.
A beautiful breakfast was served to us around 8am every morning. My girlfriend is vegetarian and lactose intolerant, so Ivonne went the extra mile to make sure there was soya milk and milk free bread available.
All in all, this air B&B was like staying at your favourite grandma’s house. Ivonne is a lovely, funny and kind hearted women who made our experience special from start to finish. We loved staying with her and will definitely recommend her to our friends and family.
Grazie Ivonne!
