Emili’s place was outstanding and clean clean clean! We had three in our party and loved having the common bathroom in the living area as well as full bath in the bedroom. Emili is a tour guide and gave us a wonderful route for a walking tour that covered the best of Venice. The area this space is in is perfect! It’s not “touristy” as also indicated by the prices. I highly suggest this area. It is more student-centric and the piazza is alive at night.
The gem of the neighborhood, for jazz fans, is the Venice Jazz Club, which is about a 1 minute walk from the apartment. Check out the website - a show like this is easily $80 in NYC. You won’t regret the experience, from warm welcome to talented performers. The 20 euro entrance includes the first drink. We ate a simple dinner (I ordered pesto gnocchi, 8 euros, perfect) and shared an antipasto plate. There were three of us, so they gave us a bottle of wine for the table instead of one drink each - what a deal (and from the Veneto).
We ate lunch at the Orange Bar (in the piazza) and our spritz and crepes were cheap and perfect. This is also the place of you would like an American breakfast (we just had croissant and coffee at the corner across from the apartment).
Emili is fabulous. It was easy to contact her over WhatsApp and she was very helpful and communicative - an A+ stay for the night!
