I first visited Venice almost 50 years ago. Over the years I have stayed in various hotels in Venice. This time, I came with 3 old friends, all celebrating our 65 birthdays, and used Airbnb. It was a wonderful experience! We found Carlo's apartment to be clean, spacious and fully equipped - just as advertised. Carlo and his wife are charming people, who were most helpful. We enjoyed the safe neighbourhood and felt a part of Venetian life, as people walked their dogs and children came out to play with their families in the evening. Carlo's place is conveniently close to major vaporetto stops and within an easy walk to Piazza San Marco. There are comfortable places to eat, drink and shop a few steps from the apartment. Yet it was a quiet neighbourhood for sleeping. I would certainly return to this apartment and recommend it to others. Thank you Carlo!
