Roberto is a wonderful host. He met us, as promised, on the bridge near his AirB&B apartment. The apartment was a very easy walk from the train station, which is just one of the advantages of it's location. There are many restaurants nearby as well as a variety of shops to meet all your needs. It is a little noisy into the evening and again early in the morning. But anyone who lives in a city knows that if you want to be in the action, there will be some noise. Let me get back to our host. I don't think I've ever had a host spend so much time making sure we were comfortable with every aspect of the apartment and answering our many questions about Venice. I and my sister were traveling together. We appreciated the amount of space as well as the use of a kitchen and a clothes washer. I highly recommend this apartment as a place to stay when in Venice.
