On my first trip to Venice, Alessia and her apartment made my trip an amazing one. The apartment is as wonderful (if not more so) as the pictures show. It's in a very lively and central part of town and close to public transport. The welcome party Alessia arranged and check-in arrangements were flawless and she provided us with very useful local restaurant and bar tips. The apartment was spotless and most importantly for me, very warm and welcoming in the winter months. Wifi was fast and reliable. The main bedroom bed was so comfy it was hard to get out of it. The only things to note, were that there was some neighbouring apartment noise and also from the street. But nothing more than one should expect in a dense urban area. Also access is via a few flights of steps (no elevator). Nothing out of the ordinary for city apartments in Europe and not a problem for the mobile and those travelling light. This place is excellent and Alessia made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. This is exactly what AirBnB is all about! I'm sure there is more of Venice to discover, but in terms of where I stay, I'll definitely be back.
