Scilla’s apartment is in such a quiet and less touristy area. My friends and I were here for a mandolin festival and had to walk through the Rialto/San Marco area multiple times a day. We always looked forward to come back to the Airbnb because we felt we could unwind and actually breathe. Not as many people walk here. Gelateria Nico is the best gelato we thought in this area and just around the corner (in Campo San Barnaba) from the Airbnb is a very good restaurant called Oniga. Her place is so charming, the beds are hard but I actually had some of the best sleep I’ve had in awhile on them!! We all had nice hot water and good water pressure. Just note that it’s on the 2nd floor so there’s a narrow flight of stairs (but well lit!) up to the apartment, so just be careful going up and down it with luggage. Scilla did meet us at the water bus stop, Ca’ Rezzonico, which was wonderful to have her walk us to the apartment. Having the water bus stop nearby was SO convenient. She had great communication with us beforehand, and when she walked us to the Airbnb, told us everything we needed to know so that we didn’t need to bother her with anything else during our stay. It’s also only a 10 minute walk to the Piazzale Roma where you can take the express busses if you don’t have time to sit back and relax on the hour water bus transportation to/from the airport. Just know that you’ll have to wheel your luggage up and down all the canal bridges, or carry them up and over. You will enjoy staying here if you’re looking in Dorsoduro!
