We can't imagine a better experience with an apartment! We stayed in Rosanna & Francesca's apartment for several days in June and it really felt like home. You can tell that all the homey, yet stylish decor was carefully chosen, and that this space is lovingly cared for. The bed was large and very comfortable, the rooms are spacious and well appointed, and everything was very clean and neatly kept. The bathroom was also large and newly renovated. Having the very nice couch in the living room was also nice for relaxing after a long day of exploring, and we enjoyed the separate kitchen with small dining table, where we ate breakfast every morning. The kitchen was fully functional, had a good sized refrigerator and a dishwasher (which we didn't use). There is also a washing machine in the bathroom, which we used to do some laundry during out stay, which was nice. We also really appreciated having air-conditioning in the apartment as well, as it was pretty hot the days we were in town.

On top of being a beautiful and comfortable space, we also felt really welcomed by our hosts! Rosanna met us at the apartment after we had arrived via water bus. She showed us in, explained a few things about the apartment, and then sat down with us at the kitchen table and spent almost an hour sharing with us about her favorite spots in Venice, and giving us valuable tips and recommendations that really helped us have a more local experience during out stay. She was incredibly friendly and helpful and this extra personal touch really was above and beyond and just confirmed the care and intentionality that we observed in the care of the apartment itself.

The neighborhood around the apartment is really cute, quiet, and felt very local. Definitely a nice change from the throngs of tourists in neighborhoods closer to Santa Croce. At the same time, everything felt very walkable from our location, and we enjoyed exploring many different parts of the island on foot pretty easily each day we were there. There are some beautiful squares and churches nearby, it's very close to the Fondamente Nove boat stop, and there is a great little grocery store called Coop just down the alleyway and over a bridge, which came in super hand during our stay. After gathering supplies at the grocery store we picnicked a few times out on the beautiful street that runs along the north bank of the island, which is just 5 minute walk from the apartment.

This is one of the nicest Airbnb's by far that we've stayed in -- it really felt like a home away from home! Thank you so much to Rossana & Francesca for welcoming us into their beautiful and comfortable space. If you're heading to Venice you really can't afford not to stay here :-). We can't wait to come back and will be recommending to everyone we know!
