My friend and I had a wonderful stay in Venice and this was in a large part due to Martina's great airbnb experience. Her sister Francesca greeted me, gave instructions and some pointers about the supermarket and good places to eat. After that she left us to it. The apartment comes as photographed and is a really good sized room. we shared the kitchen/bathroom with people in the adjacent room. I can imagine that there might be a bit of a run for the shower in the morning.

The flat is charming and the kitchen is equipped with coffee for the stove top coffee maker which is a really nice touch. Whilst we were there, there was a slightly strange smell in our bedroom. I'm not sure if this was a one-off or just one the quirks of being such an old building. Having said that, it was really great staying in an authentic Ventian home.

Finally - if possible I'd definitely try to make it to Martina's recommendation of the Osteria Bea Vita - the food there was fabulous! Fantastic recommendation.

Overall - we had a lovely stay and would recommend Martina's place!
