Traveling to venice was tough especially going there for the first time and you don't have any idea what to expect ! Thank God I choose airbnb and picked Maria and Carlo's place. They will respond to you right away and gives you instructions how to get in their place! When we arrived in San samuele station, Carlo was already there waiting for us to assist . I don't think hotels will do that for you! He showed us some tips on where to shop for grocery and where to eat! The location itself is excellent! You can walk to all the attractions in less than 15 minutes! Their apartment is really clean and modern! You feel you're home away from home! It is well organized and well equipped! I highly recommend this place and you will not regret! Small walk from the place in the best gelato in town, grocery and restaurants. Traveling with a group and a baby was really challenging but I'm glad I made the right choice of selecting Carlo and Maria's place!!!!
