This was a really great stay. The apartment is clean, nice, spacious, with a small private terrace (in Venice!) joining an inner court/garden and has two air conditioning units to keep temperatures down during peak summer time. The environment was very quiet, something rather difficult to find when staying closer to the always-busy centre of Venice. Getting to the centre is as easy as taking the vaporetto for two stops. The only "downside" of this would be the fact you have to keep the last vaporetto schedules in mind when staying later than 11 o'clock at night, and even then, an occasional water taxi could still "save" you getting back home. Even if we did not meet the host Alessandro in person and the check-in was via a lockbox, he has been available as needed and, because of an unfortunate event totally beyond our control we arrived one day later than planned, he did a courtesy gesture that most Airbnb host wouldn't have offered. So all in all, a highly recommended place and host!
