A friend and I traveled through Europe and had a lot of difficulty finding a legit Airbnb in Venice. Nearing the time of our arrival we found Helene's warm and artistic Venetian home. We were greeted by her lovely friend Anna who met us at the bus station and helped us to get our boat tickets. She carried our bags to the house and was very responsive during our stay. Check in and check out were very easy. We were lucky enough to catch Helene at her art studio before she left town, and she is such a lovely lady! Her art and her story are very inspiring. Her place is in a beautiful and quiet location right near the Guggenheim museum as well as many shops and restaurants. She made us marmalade and left us with fresh bread, juice and fruit (which she didn't know but saved us after our past few days of tough travel...!). Her place was very spacious with 2 full bathrooms. We'd open the windows in the living room and take an afternoon nap enjoying the gorgeous breeze. It also had a gate and we were secured through 3 locked doors which was a huge piece of mind for us. The apartment was very clean and I must mention that we had no issue with our wifi during our stay. We definitely did not want to leave Venice and hope for the opportunity to stay here again.
Grazie Helene and Anna!
