I had always wanted to see what it was like inside an apartment in Venice and am so glad I gave airbnb a try. I really enjoyed the location and the experience. The shower was small, but that was to be expected and there were no problems with water pressure or temperature. Communication with the host was fantastic. Picking up the key was very well organized. Martina's mother was ten minutes EARLY at the meeting place. It was a short walk to the apartment and we got settled in very quickly. Martina and her mother were very kind and hospitable. When walking around Venice I found it easier to use a detailed paper map rather than a smart phone.
