Stefano is a great and very friendly host! the apt fits the description and photos, the kitchen allows you to really cook a decent meal. at the Rialto market in the city center you'll find fresh veggies and fish at extraordinary quality. however there are many restaurants and bars in the near neighbourhood. ask Stefano for recommendations or check tripadvisor.com! the apt is close to Lido center with its vaporetto station but parking isn't limited to residents only and there's a good chance to find a spot close to the apt at zero costs. if you arrive by car staying on Lido is by far the cheapest possibility to park your car at least if you stay a few days. even parking in the cheapest lot at the airport costs more if you sum up all costs. pleasant side effect: you have to buy a public transport ticket that covers your entire stay, at least if you don't want to be trapped at Lido ;-) this will give you full flexibility, the water busses run 24/7 and you can travel almost the entire lagoon including Burano, Torcello and many more. Stefano's apt is ideal if you want to join the crowded center of Venice but also leave quickly. it's just about 30 mins from the apt to the center, the Vaporettos run in high frequency giving you a great flexibility. Stefano was always extremly helpful, before and upon arrival and also during our stay. He always responded quickly to airbnb messages. highly recommended!
