Being my first time using AirBnB, I was unsure of how the apartment or the host would turn out. But the experience turned out to be a great one. My stay at Elizsabetta's apartment was a wonderful, the apartment is exactly as it looks in the pictures, if not even better. It was very clean, well prepared, and Elisabetta was a great host. Upon arrival, she had prepared a map, guidebooks, a fruit platter, a box of Italian biscuit, water (flat and sparkling), and even a nespresso machine with 6 different flavors of coffee.
She was very nice and helpful, provided directions and restaurant recommendations, which turned out to be a great dining experience as well. She also offered that we could contact her any time during my trip via whatsapp if we had any questions.
The location of the apartment was good as well, it is walking distance (10-15 mins) to many of the major sites and the vaporetto station (San Zaccaria). Of course, getting lost in Venice even with a map WILL happen, so the walking time may vary.
Getting from the San Zaccaria station to the apartment was quite an experience. The directions Elisabetta provided were fantastic, it was very precise and clear because it was a point to point direction with pictures. I was actually quite surprised that we were able to find the apartment without any hiccups, considering how confusing the streets in Venice could be.
The apartment was great, and Elisabetta was equally wonderful. We had a great time staying in her apartment in Venice.
On a side note, the elevator was great plus for the apartment because my girlfriend and I both had big luggages.
