We had visited Venice in the past, staying at the Europa and Londra hotels, but we wanted to get to know Venice and decided on a longer term stay, through Airbnb, our first experience with Airbnb. Our first comment is that the appartment is ideally suited to not only shorter stays, but also a three week stay such as ours. The appartment is towards the back of a typical narrow Venice alley and one has a great view of pleasant looking gardens. Once at home, one forgets the busy streets and the tourists. Mattia is an excellent host, going out of his way to make our stay comfortable. The listing is accurate and Mattia answered our questions quickly and accurately. It was a most pleasant experience.
