A group of five couples (my friends) including my wife and I travelled to Italy for a week to watch the Italy v England rugby international in Rome. We spent two nights in Venice and three nights in Rome. We were accommodated in hotels for the first five nights. This was booked as a group. On our return to Venice I booked two nights at "La corte di San Marco" with Jenny. From the outset she was brilliant. Prompt responses and very helpful. This included detailed instructions on directions to her apartment. Prior to our arrival she made it clear that she would help with any issues or queries we had regarding transport from the train station to her apartment. On arrival the apartment was spotlessly clean. There was coffee, tea and other items made available to us as soon as we arrived. Unlike the hotels we stayed in, every possible required item was present (iron and ironing board, hair dryer, coffee percolator, etc). We were given a warm welcome nothing was too much trouble.
As per previous reviews, the apartment is in a great and quiet location. Seven minutes walk from St Marks square and but minutes from the water taxis. A great supermarket is but a few hundred metres from the flat with a number of very nice restaurants equally close. However the ambiance of the flat was such that we actually enjoyed several meals within the apartment.
My friends had not used Airbnb previously and could not believe how good this was. We all believed that our stay in the apartment was a better experience and by far better value for money than the two hotels we had stayed in.
I would hope to be able to stay at this apartment again when I next visit Venice.
