Imagine having a family member offer you their apartment in Venice for a few days but instead of your real family you are hosted by a wonderful duo, who are cool and have impeccable style and gracious hospitality. Their thoughtful gestures making your stay unforgettable.
That’s how we felt staying in Laura and Francesco’s beautiful apartment. It is close to everything Venice has to offer, yet off the beaten path away from the throngs of tourists that visit all year long.
We were personally greeted by Laura and Francesco at the boat from the airport. They helped us with our bags. The apartment is a 2 minute walk from the Guigle stop.
Down a side alley and up two flights of stairs we arrived to the apartment.
The apartment was immaculate. Simple, but not sparse. An intelligently laid out living/kitchen area had a comfortable sofa, flat screen TV, refrigerator, espresso maker with coffee and plenty of cookware and utensils.
The apartment was the perfect blend of traditional and modern. The bedrooms were spacious, each with its own bathroom with shower. All bathroom essentials were provided.
The decorative accents included unique wall treatments and sturdy soundproof windows. The apartment floors were also heated for added comfort. No details were overlooked.
Laura and Francesco spent time with us explaining all the features of the apartment and giving us tips for visiting Venice as an insider.
They left us with a beautiful box of Venetian pastries and a beautiful canvas tote bag to enjoy as a gift.
This was best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed, but more importantly it was Laura and Francesco’s generous warmth and hospitality that made our stay truly unforgettable.
Grazie Mille!
