I really couldn't fault this place, 2 mins stop from the vaperetto (Line 1, 4.1/4.2) and airport water bus, 3 mins walk from the supermarket on via garibaldi and 10 seconds !!! from the Benalli art exhibition. Quiet enough to feel you'r in with the locals, yet right next to everything.
Internally the space is excellent, but we didn't use the patio more than twice after being bitten to death, morning and night, despite 14, yes 14 citronella candles.
After booking with Cristina, which is prompt and efficient, you are handed over Rossana the local agent. Communication moved from on airbnb to a popular message app which starts with what but i can't write here as the auto check doesn't allow (hahaha). Joking aside, communication outside of airbnb message is not something i like, its against the airbnb advice, Rossana was however really lovely and i would like to nominate her for being the happiest person in venice.
The danger with giving great reviews is that they become booked up and prices rise, but thats life, in a place where there is so much awful, over priced property, this place is excellent....WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY AGAIN.
Cant comment on the comfort of the sofa bed as there were only 2 of us and we didn't fall out ! Taking out rubbish to the local barge each day is not a pain, its quite novel and all part of being in venice. ....just book it.....oh did i say how amazing rossana is, whatever she is paid, its not enough.
