Out of the 5 Airbnbs I stayed in during my 2-week Eurotrip, this was by far my best experience. The apartment is in an incredible location a couple blocks away from San Marco square, and Nikita went above and beyond as a host. Not only did he give us many helpful suggestions for restaurants off the beaten path, when we asked him for tips on getting a gondola ride, he personally took us to less crowded gondolier points and tried to negotiate a deal for us. He made us feel completely at home; I felt like we had a personal guide to the city. I would absolutely stay here again and strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Venice.
