We enjoyed staying at Ivan's place during our visit to Venice. We arrived late (10pm) and he met us at the water taxi to walk us to the apartment and show us around. The apartment is older (like all of Venice) but is quite spacious and has unique, quirky furnishings (not all IKEA like many Airbnbs!). There were a few issues that came up during our stay but Ivan was very responsive and took care of them quickly. We especially appreciated the groceries that were left for us. It was great to be able to have a quick breakfast at the apartment each morning before leaving to explore the city or a snack upon return. The view from the apartment is lovely and the neighborhood is convenient to many areas with shops and restaurants.
