We were a little nervous when we booked Martin's place because there were not any reviews yet, but I am so glad we did! The communication with the hosts was excellent. The apartment was very close to the boat stop and near the train station. With two small kids and heavy luggage this was a huge plus. The apartment was fantastic. It was the best Airbnb we stayed in while in Italy. Very clean, well decorated, and stocked with snacks and drinks, which was so great considering how late we got in. This was he only airbnb that did that. So appreciated!!! There is only one small flight of stairs up to the apartment. The location is about 15 min from the main square, but we loved the neighborhood. Great restaurants and shops and not very noisy at night. It was perfect to take the water taxi to the tourist attractions and then come back to the quiet apartment. We had a wonderful time in Venice and Martin's apartment was one of the reasons. I'm so glad we booked and we would absolutely stay again. It was perfect for our family of four. Thanks to Alessia for all her great suggestions.
