Well what can i say if you want to be local and be in the mecca of everything else in Venice then this is the airbnb for you. Directions were really straight forward just make sure to pay attention to the names of the restaurants and you will find the black gate to enter the airbnb. Pack light if your staying here the room is on the 4th floor which can lead up to alot of stairs. Yes! Theirs air conditioning especially during the hot season you would need this. The room has a old vintage antique look to it which gave it that real feel! Yup loved it and definitely a experience to be in. Alot of restaurants around there and only minutes away from the famous bridge. Cristina was very responsible and responsive ill be comming back here to my next Venice trip
