Cristina’s place is adorable and in a convenient location right off a vaporetto line. I have to give a big word of warning though: dozens and dozens of small bugs (something between a fly and a gnat) filled the apartment in the hours after our arrival. The bugs were quiet, rarely moved, and didn't ever try to go after humans. But they were still bugs and not something I'd like in a place I'm staying. I contacted Cristina about this hoping for help clearing them out, but she just told me, "It happens some time because of the water in Venice and because of the dry season." She also pointed me to some mosquito repellant in the bathroom, but the bugs weren't mosquitoes and the spray didn't have any effect. I found this particularly frustrating given that Cristina also requires a €40 off-the-books cleaning fee. Looking at the other reviews for her place, it sounds like this isn't typical, and the apartment really is quite cute. But if you're worried about bugs, I'd suggest staying elsewhere, particularly during the summer when it seems they're more likely to come out. It might just be a good rule of thumb to avoid any ground-level Airbnbs along the water in Venice.
