This apartment is a perfect combination of close to the Venice canals and far enough away that you actually get a place to rest and relax. Whether you want to go across the street to the adorable Grandma person to get fresh baked items or a little container of milk first thing in the morning or you need to go to an actual grocery store everything is within 3 blocks! Any time that we needed anything, whether it was a blow-dryer, a roll of toilet paper or directions to anything- these hosts were beyond exception! I've not worked with anyone in the Airbnb family that was more responsive and more helpful than these people. Even the ones that said they had poor English skills, had fantastic English skills! the apartment that I stayed in was the smaller of the three and it was absolutely immaculate. It was as if it had been built just the week before! there was no dust, there was not a crumb , there wasn't a cobweb it was so clean! Our only drawback per se is that when taking the bus into the grand canals do yourself a favor make sure that you verify the time schedules and ride the 7 E and not the regular 7. The 7 bus takes at least 35 to 40 minutes and it is wicked crowded. When traveling from the airport with excessive luggage or even really a carry-on bag I highly recommend taking a cab instead of the bus, the buses are very crowded and people are not tolerant of suitcases, it cost us about 45 Euros to take a cab from the airport but it was worth every single penny! I hope you have a great stay in Venice!
