This entire experience was amazing start to finish. Having not only never traveled internationally before let alone to Venice I was a bit nervous about everything. Simone and his brother Leopoldo were great with communication from the beginning. We took the train from Rome to Venice and it was very easy. We got off the train at the station to marble steps leading down to the grand canal, it was beautiful. We walked what seemed like 3 minutes through the beautiful street lined with shops and restaurants and recognized the red archway right away leading to the condo. It was SO EASY to get to from the train station and an enjoyable walk. Leopoldo met us there and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The entire place was spotless. We felt comfortable, safe and had everything we needed. The bed was AMAZING and the pillows were AMAZING. The very best part of the Airbnb was laying in bed with the windows wide open and just listening to the people down on the streets below. We listened the first night until 3am just amazed by how lucky we got with this location. Don’t worry though, the minute you shut the windows you hear nothing below and can sleep well. We got lost in the streets of Venice each day of our stay walking over 10 miles each day. We felt unbelievably lucky coming across this place! 5 stars all the way!!
