Breakfast at San Maurizio's was a wonderful place for our stay in Venice. The apartment was very clean, the beds were comfortable, the views from the balcony were nice, the neighborhood was quiet and the location is almost perfectly centrally located in Venice, yet just enough away from the high tourist areas - a 10 minute walk will connect you to the most interesting and crowded areas of the city.
Enrico, Nicola & Petra were all very helpful in helping us prior to our arrival - their level of communication was prompt and professional. They gave us a head's up about a transportaion strike called on the day of our arrival, made suggestions on how to best plan to travel from the airport to the agreed upon meeting place, stayed in contact once we landed and (Petra) met us as we arrived on the Alilaguna (waterbus) orange line at the Sant'Angelo stop.
For those who've never visited Venice, it's important to know that you have to handle your own luggage once you arrive. Carrying or rolling luggage on rugged stone streets, over many bridges and through crowds can be frustrating. Fortunately for us, Breakfast at San Maurizio's was close to the Sant'Angelo waterbus station. From there, it's about a 5 minute journey to the apartment.
Petra guided us the apartment and then spent around 30 minutes or so showing us everything we needed to know about the unit, sharing emergency contact info and reviewing check-out procedures. She provided us with a map of the city, highlighted various things to see and suggested restaurants to enjoy. Later she texted me additional restaurant suggestions with addresses. Of course, all of this was very helpful and very much appreciated.
One thing of note, the apartment incurs a daily Venice occupancy tax of 4 Euro per person per day which is outside of the Airbnb agreement. Make sure you have enough cash available before you check-out.
The unit itself is located on the 3rd floor and is accessible by both stairs and elevator. At the end of a long day, the elevator was a blessing for tired feet.
One evening while waiting on the elevator, we happened to meet Enrico who resides in the same building. He was a gracious host and asked to ensure we were well served and enjoying our stay.
We would definitely choose to stay at Breakfast at San Maurizio's again!
