Great space, location, and host! This apartment is huge, with three bedrooms, three living spaces plus a kitchen with a big dining table and a rooftop deck. It is as pretty as the photos, with terrazzo floors, beamed ceilings, and a modern kitchen. The whole apartment is well equipped. I've never had a plush robe at an AirBnB before, and there was a selection of extra blankets for my daughter who likes her bed warm. While we didn't end up using the washer, I was glad it was available. I loved being able to cook meals with finds from the market and shops, and appreciated that the kitchen included some supplies like olive oil and salt in addition to plentiful pots, tools, and dishes.
The location on a side street near the Rialto Market is central, but feels private with little street noise. We were able to walk most places in 20-25 minutes, stopping to look at things on the way, and we could easily get back to the apartment for a midday rest or to cook dinner before an evening stop for gelato in the nearby campo. Light sleepers note that you can hear occasional people in the street below, but we weren't bothered and kept our shutters open.
Valentina is a superb host. She sent the boat schedule when we made the reservation and kept in touch as we were arriving, then met us at the waterbus stop and walked us to the apartment, pointing out useful and interesting shops along the way. Once we arrived, she gave a thorough tour of the apartment and gave us a map of Venice that she marked with suggested activities and restaurants. I particularly appreciated that she saw our children were sleepy and recommended a place to get good risotto quickly that first night. She sent cheerful messages during the week and after we left to make sure we were doing well, replied quickly to midweek questions, and sent me the schedules we needed for our departure. We felt very welcome and are delighted that Klaus, the other host, made this great apartment available. I highly recommend it!
