This was the 9th airbnb I've stayed at, and definitely the best of them all! I've stayed at airbnb's from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Italy. Her place is a true BnB. I completely forgot about breakfast being offered so It was a nice surprise. The pictures and previous reviews of the room are accurate and very clean. It looks like it was recently renovated or maybe even brand-new. We felt very secure while there. There is a bus stop literally outside and in-front of her building and all you have to do is catch the 19 bus (1.50 euro one way) which will take you directly to the island. after visiting the island, both my girlfriend and I are glad we stayed where we did vs the more touristy area. This same area will also take you to/from Venice airport as well, but you'll need a different bus (same price). The price we paid for this airbnb provided way more value than the price we would have paid if we stayed in Venice. The only small issue we had was the hot water didn't last as long as we hoped. If I come back to Venice, I would have no issues at all with staying at Villa Erica's, and I HIGHLY recommend!
