What an amazing apartment in an amazing city. We've been in many AirBnB's and without a doubt this has been our best experience.
Francesca is a perfect host. She met us by the train station and walked us through the winding streets. The kitchen had enough to take us through breakfast the next day and then some. Super thoughtful and nice!

Location-wise, its in a very nice and quiet area that feels like home. Very safe. Just 2 blocks away is the main street with all its crowd and tourists. San Marco's square is a 10-15 minutes there and even less to Realto. Honestly, I don't think I'd want to stay in San Marco's square. Seems like its the only area that gets sketchy at night. Venice is so small that you can get anywhere so easily no matter where you are.

There's plenty of room in the apartment, 2 flights up the stairs which is very manageable. The place was very clean. If you are touchy about cleanliness, this place is for you. The two bedrooms are a great size. The larger bedroom has what felt like a king-sized bed, and the second bedroom was great for our child in the smaller bed. There was no scent of smoke. There was no noise from neighbors, and the floor is very solid.

I hope to visit Venice, and this place again!
