We are so pleased with our first experience with Airbnb. Leonardo's post for a room at his grandmother's lovely home on the island of Lido was everything he said and pictured. She was a warm and charming host who we enjoyed visiting with. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer to enjoy Lido more. Venice must be experienced first hand, but it is crowded and noisy. Lada's home is in a quiet residential area just a 10 minute walk from the ferry. We enjoyed walking to the area of assorted, affordable restaurants for dinner. I would definitely consider returning to for an extended stay.
