Chiara’s place was a perfect location in Venice. Very central- right near the Rialto Bridge and market, 5 min walk to St Marks, 5 min walk to supermarket. The apartment is wonderful- very spacious and comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is really well equipped and there were many basic items in the pantry. Chiara’s son, Giovani, met us at the boat stop, helped us with bags (he also took us on a route that avoided bridges and stairs) and gave us tips for our stay. Chiara gave fast responses when needing to ask questions. There was a little bit of noise at night from the bar below but it didn’t keep us awake. The apartment is up 2 flights of stairs, but once you’re there, it’s one of the best airbnb’s you’ll find for a family or 2 couples.
