This was our first time staying at an Airbnb Plus home and it was the best decision I've made haha :) Roberto is such a wonderful host and his place is incredibly stylish and convenient.
We loved Roberto's decoration style and I actually got a lot of inspirations on how to design our new home since we are moving very soon. Roberto's place is just a few minutes' walk from the vaporetto Arsenale station, which takes you to Santa Lucia train station within 30 minutes. The place is also just several blocks away from almost any tourist spots in the city. We also loved the fact that it is surrounded by many reasonably-priced restaurants and businesses because it's in a neighborhood where more Venetians live.
Now let's talk about Roberto the host. We were deeply impressed by his friendliness and hospitality. Roberto carried my heavy luggage for me all the way from the vaporetto station to the apartment, where we were given delicious Aperol drinks and cookie snacks; he had also provided us a whole folder filled with itineraries, walking guides and restaurant recommendations; what's more, he even showed us Venice tourism videos that he previously saved to give us a sense of the city and what we can expect from our visit. But on top of all that, Roberto is just incredibly intelligent and we totally enjoyed our several intellectual conversations about the many issues in our society. Now I'm very motivated to learn more Italian so I could pick his brains some more when we visit next time!
Overall, we loved every minute of our stay and would recommend Roberto and his place to anyone heading to Venice for a visit.
