So many great things to say about this place!
The views are magnificent, and I spent a lot of time watching the amazing boat life down below. It's fascinating, and social, and absolutely entertaining.
The place is very well equipped and maintained. Like most Airbnbs, the kitchen is not set up for making amazing meals, but the rest of Venice is. It's perfect for keeping a few snacks, some leftovers, cooking the lovely fruit and veggies and fish available in the very close-by markets. Vale gave me wonderful recommendations on where to shop, where to eat out.
The bed is comfortable and the curtains make the room dark (not pitch black though), and I loved leaving the windows ajar so I could hear the sounds of the canal life.
Vale herself is a gem. She's charming, thoughtful, and always available. I asked for a pretty large favor which she did instantly! It made an enormous, positive difference in my stay. I feel so lucky to have been in her care.
The neighborhood is absolutely wonderful, with a great variety of stores and restaurants and bars. Just lovely. It's not especially close to the main tourist destinations, but it is very easy to take the vaporetto everywhere. Just get a multi-day pass and learn the very simple way to use it, and you can go anywhere.
I loved staying here and will almost certainly be back. I just hope it's not booked up!
