What can I say about this place except "AMAZING!" If you're looking for a place in Venice and this place is available, stop reading right now and book this place.
The house is pretty large for Venice, it's close to lots of stuff yet on a quiet street with no noise. The house itself it great, large kitchen, bright and homely living room, clean and comfortable master bedroom. I honestly couldn't think of anything that's missing.
I guess if we had any issue it'd be that we never got to meet the host, we were in contact through the app but at the last minute he said he couldn't meet and his neice came to meet us instead, not a big deal but in reading it seems this happens quite a lot. The issue is that because the host doesn't meet you personally there isn't any local knowledge or recommendations given, again not a big issue as we just Google and Foursquare it up but part of the beauty of Airbnb is getting the local knowledge.
Don't let that keep you from booking this amazing place though, just wanted to give a total review of both good and needs work.
