First, I’m super picky, as is my family. A five star review by us is well earned! Stayed here for two nights with my family of four, including two teenage kids. The neighborhood is lovely, with the canal at the end of the street and two cafes where you can sit for cocktails or coffees and just take in the beauty of your surroundings.
You are a five minute walk from the bus station (where you can pick up vaporettos and take taxis to and from the airport) and maybe a 10 minute walk from the train station. There is an ATM about a block away too.
The apartment is sparkling clean, spacious, and comfortable. Other than the kitchen, there is not a common living room or seating area which is clear from the pictures so that was not a surprise for a problem for us. It is beautifully decorated. The air-conditioning worked very well. (There is no air conditioning in the small bedroom with the twin, but there’s a fan.)
The bathrooms are modern with room for all your toiletries. Lots of hot water and great lighting. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows and nice quality bedding. The balconies, windows and natural lighting make everything feel even more open and lovely. Yet you can close all the shutters to darken for sleeping.
Irene is so sweet. She goes above and beyond with the extra touches - besides shampoo and soap, there are extra toothbrushes, creamer for coffee even (!!), breakfast pastries, and a bottle of Prosecco with several containers of juice. The towels are wrapped in ribbon, topped with chocolates, and there are slippers for everyone.
The washer dryer combo was helpful. The Nespresso machine was appreciated. The hair dryer was one of the few in Italy hotels/Airbnbs where you don’t have to press the power button continually:)
Also, Irene was incredibly responsive both before and during our stay. Timely answered numerous questions. Check-in and check-out were super easy.
Would definitely stay here again! Only cons: street is a little noisy, as is the building and the towels could be a bit thicker. But these are so minor. Overall, this is one of the best Airbnbs of our two-week Italy-Spain trip.
