We have just returned from a brilliant mini-break in Venice where we booked our accommodation through AirB&B. This was our first time using the service and we were pleased that the host Chiara, was immediately accessible to communicate with and confirm we had the correct details. Our host Chiara was wonderful. She met us off the waterbus from the airport gave great advice on places to visit, advised us how to organize the storage of our cases on our last day at the apartment so that we could use those extra hours to see a little more of this magnificent location.
The apartment surpassed our expectations and we would undoubtedly rent it again. It was spacious and centrally located allowing walking to all the major destinations, with a fully equipped kitchen allowing you to do as much self-catering as you feel inclined to.
The bedroom was beautiful with access to a small outside space which, if the weather had been warmer we would have used to drink our morning coffees on and perhaps a glass of wine on balmy evenings. The provision of two bathrooms is most useful, and there is enough space to accommodate four people comfortably.
We can recommend the bakers located 3 minutes away at the north end of Calle Vernardo and the Vinerie-Entoteche ‘’da Tellero” S. Croce 1592 which will supply very drinkable wines into your own bottles for 2.50 Euros per litre which is about a five-minute walk away from the apartment.
There is no question our stay in Venice was enhanced by the experience of staying in Chiara’s ‘Sparkling Apartment’ and we would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and central base for adventures around Venice.
