ABOUT OUR STAY: 1 night, 6 adults
LOCATION: (4.5/5) Anna's home has a prime location, being situated just a two minute walk from the Zattere waterbus station. Getting to her place was straightforward; We took a car taxi from the Marco Polo airport that dropped us off at the San Basilio ferry terminal, and walked for roughly 10 minutes before we were greeted by Rosanna (she took us to the airbnb). It gets quiet at night, perfect for families, but not too far away from major tourist attractions (St. Mark's Square is roughly a 15-20 minute walk, taking into consideration the plentiful photos you will take along the way!).
COMMUNICATION WITH ANNA: (5/5) VERY RESPONSIVE! Although we never met Anna personally, she arranged to have a family member of hers to meet us upon arrival and got us settled. Anna was also very accommodating; we were able to check in a little before the prearranged check in time, and also allowed us to leave our suitcases in her gym after check out the day after (we had some time to kill before boarding cruise). Throughout our stay, we remained in contact through airbnb - any questions I had, she was able to respond within the hour. Anna is very lovely! :)
SPACE, FURNITURE, INTERIOR: (3.5/5) Her flat is on the second floor, no elevators, just a short flight of stairs. Minimal decor, traditional homey design, but spacious; her home comfortably fit 6 adults and 6 large suitcases! Overall just small wear and tear on the walls, but VERY CLEAN! NOTE ABOUT THE WASHROOM - the shower curtain pole suddenly fell while one of us was showering; we informed her about the incident, and hopefully she will fix it for future guests. The tub is also quite narrow and slippery, families with young children should take note.
