The apartment was exactly as described and photographed; it was clean, spacious, modern, and very comfortable. Our host, Luca, was very friendly, communicative, and accommodating. The apartment is in a perfect location, near the Rialto neighborhood, but not in a noisy area. 1 or 2 streets over was enough to make it feel very private while still being close to everywhere we wanted to visit. The apartment is in a small courtyard up a flight of stone steps. Inside the door you climb 1 more short flight of stairs and you've made it. This was our first airbnb experience and it was perfect; we would definitely return here and would recommend it to anyone visiting Venice. Thank you Luca!
