This is my first booking via airbnb and I'm glad I found this little gem in the heart of Venice. It might not be easy to find the way to it though if you are new to Venice and have only the address on hand. (Like every other address in the city, it does not have a street name and street number, but all the properties in the same suburb are numbered in a strange sequence altogether.) Do ask for directions from the host and draw down the routes on your map/smartphone. In my case Micaela was so wonderful and picked me up at the station.

The flat itself is spacious and it comes with a garden of roughly the same size. I had breakfast in the garden on both mornings of my stay and it was absolutely lovely.

The flat was tidy and equipped with everything I needed (even breakfast was provided). There was no wi-fi but an internet key could be provided for laptop use (sadly I didn't have the chance to use it).
