Everything about this Airbnb stay, in this stunning historic apartment, was wonderful! I was traveling in Italy with my elderly parents, for 3 weeks, and our time at Vanessa's apartment in Venezia was the absolute best! I literally cannot say enough good things about the apartment or Vanessa (and her husband). From the moment we got off the train, we were met with the warmest welcome and really felt like we were staying at a friend's place. The apartment is beyond amazing, we felt like we were on a movie set in a 17th century home that has all new amenities. The kitchen and bathroom are totally state of the art, but the historical integrity of the apartment is beautifully preserved and is very warm, comfortable and inviting. When we were hanging out in the living room (which we did a lot because it's so cool), we could feel the history in the fabric of the apartment and it was amazing! Major bonus is that Vanessa has an incredibly lovely spirit and I felt like we were fast friends. She and her husband went above and beyond, offering me and my parents help with anything we needed, they provided lots of local information, and we were even lucky enough to spend a little time with Vanessa (who I know has a crazy busy schedule) which was a literal local highlight of our trip! I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful historic apartment and even luckier to have a new friend in Venice, Italy!
