My husband and I loved the five nights we spent at Roberta’s apartment. It is a charming space that is located away from the crowded tourist haunts without being out of the way. The neighborhood is mostly full of locals. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the balcony drinking coffee in the morning and digestifs in the evenings. The kitchen also was well equipped for cooking.
In an age where many Airbnbs use self check-in and are run by management companies, Roberta is a refreshing change as a host. She met us at the vaporetto stop and walked us through the maze of Venice streets to our apartment. She also provided a host of recommendations for restaurants, etc.
One thing that I would note is that the apartment is very noisy, especially in the morning and at dinnertime, because it fronts a narrow passageway on one side and a canal with a bridge on the other. This probably would not be an issue for early risers, sound sleepers or those who wear ear plugs or use white noise speakers. It would not keep my husband and I from staying here again.
