Marta was the first air b&b experience for us. She gave us directions on how to get from airport to Lido. Only challenge is we arrived prior to checkin and ended up waiting 30 min by the lagoon before deciding to call Marta who quickly arranged for neighbor to let us in. It's a long journey via Ryan Airs terminal on outskirts of Venice, taking almost 3.5 hours before we had dropped off our bags. We arrived in the middle of a historic heat wave and made the mistake of trying to do too much on day 1 when instead we should have unpacked, rested and turned on AC. When we got back in the evening, we were upset to find that only 1 out of the 3 rooms had AC, and that poor AC unit wasn't powerful enough to cool down the room after such a horrifically hot day. We moved the kids beds into the 1 room with AC and suffered through a very rough night. The neighbor did find a 2nd fan for my brother who was sweating it out in the non AC room.
The AC situation was a challenge, but too be fair it was manageable on day 2 & 3. The AC did start leaking water but it was fine.
The apartment is large, rural and has charm. It's surrounded by greenery, ruins and locals. On day 1 finding food nearby was a pain, and we weren't impressed by the local pizza delivery (although they did deliver very quickly and were friendly)
Would I stay here again? No. One night we went out for a nice dinner and by time we got to lido, it was past midnight and we couldn't tell if a bus was coming. We walked all the way home. My kids found it tiring to have to take boat/bus home every day (30 min journey). That said, it IS a local experience and is very charming. It was nice to not be surrounded by tourists. If you are ok with a little more work and want a unique experience, try it out.
