This was our first experience of Airbnb and what a good experience it was too. I fear that future properties will struggle to match this one.

The property is equipped to a very high standard and as described on the website with one exception for people from the UK. From the description of "comfortable queen size bed" we were expecting a small double bed. In fact, we were delighted to discover that the bed is bigger than the King size bed we have at home!

Andrea is a delightful host. She met us from the water bus at St Mark's and escorted us to the apartment, which is ideally located for the all the main sites. Andrea was very helpful and dealt with all our queries efficiently and promptly.

We will remember our first visit to Venice for many reasons, not least being met by the unforgettable sight of gondolas passing by the windows upon our arrival!
