The Stivaletto apartment was the perfect solution for a trip to Venice with colleagues. The location was just a few steps away from the Rialto bridge and also made walking to the train station for day trips a cinch. In a quieter neighborhood, the apartment avoids the massive tourist crowds that center around San Marco. It was so relaxing and refreshing to escape the tourists and return to our own little space. The WiFi enabled us to check up on work emails and the great kitchen was perfect for an in-house breakfast, or afternoon wine and snacks.
Gianluca was very communicative and helpful even before our arrival, giving explicit instructions on how to reach the apartment from the Venice train station. He met us directly at the vaporetto stop and walked us to the apartment. He also gave us a great dinner recommendation and pointed out the nearby grocery store and other useful details.
It was our first experience using AirBnB, so we were all a bit nervous, but it turned out to be the best possible solution, especially in a city like Venice that is so touristy and over priced. Highly recommended!
