This is an absolute GEM of an AirBnB. I travelled with my 9 year old daughter so we were looking for comfort, location and flexibility. Staying at Susanna's exceeded all expectations.
The guest rooms are on the first floor of Susanna's appartment and share use of a small but cute and very convenient kitchen where you can use the fridge and help yourself to coffee, water and fresh fruit. This is also where you can find your breakfast tray in the morning. It was pure luxury for us to be able to put something in the fridge and grab a little snack or drink for my daughter when I wasn't organised enough to get something from the supermarket.
When I booked I thought we would be sharing the space with more people but it's actually a self-contained designated floor for the AirBnB which we only shared with one another room, which is at the other end of the hallway. It felt like we had our own little appartment in the middle of Venice.
Our guest room was spacious, with a desk, little table and chair, double bed, bunk bed and bathroom with toilet, bath/shower, spacious sink. The room looks out onto the narrow street, the lovely neighbours hanging gardens and even the Grand Canal. It has all the comfort you need and more. Extra blankets, towels, hairdryer, TV, spacious wardrobe, ... In the hallway you'll find information brochures, a map and food recommendations nearby.
Location-wise, this was perfect. A minute walk from the Rialto bridge. Which was SUPER handy as from all over Venice you will be able to find your way back easily. ATM is nearby, supermarket is nearby, bakery, ... everything really. And still it was very quiet at night. Because it was so central, we walked everywhere, saving us precious euro's on waterbus fares. Little feet were very tired in the evening though!
Susanna herself is absolutely lovely. She went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as could be, which I really appreciated since I was travelling with my daughter. We felt very much at home. Susanna pops in every evening and is super available and thoughtful.
It feels like we spent a mini week staying with friends, and when we come back to Venice for the next Biennale, we can't imagine staying anywhere else!
A huge thank you to Susanna for making our stay so very special. We loved every minute of it. Ann & Noa
