We had a wonderful stay at Raffaella's apartment in Venice. She met us at the Vaporetto stop by the apartment, walked us home, showed us around the place and explained everything. We were greeted with fresh fruit, biscuits and a couple of beers! We stayed in 4 AirBnB's in Italy on this trip and this was by far our favorite. The photos do not do the apartment justice. You can keep the windows open all day and have a soft breeze come in, it's very quiet, not too much street noise at all. The apartment has been updated recently and all of the windows and fixtures in the bathrooms, etc are new and lovely. The bed is comfortable, wifi is great, the kitchen has everything you need. Transportation is no problem - the vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal is less than a block away. The apartment is in a more quiet area of town, but practically next door to the Accademia and Peggy Guggenheim museums. You get to stay in Venice but avoid some of the larger crowds in the more touristy areas. Absolutely lovely apartment, can't wait to come back and stay again.
