First of all I would like to say that if you are looking for a great location to for your visit to Venice, you should not search any further. Though tourists ourselves, my wife and prefer to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the high tourist areas. This apartment is situated in a location which you can easily reach these high tourist areas by foot should you wish to, though it is in an area which itself is very quiet and peaceful. For us, this was the perfect location!

While traveling though Italy for our honeymoon, my wife and I stayed at Rosanna’s the dates of July 12th – July 14th. From the moment we started emailing about the stay, Rosanna was more than helpful in answering all of my questions. Being the first time we used Airbnb I was not sure what to expect, but I can honestly say that she made the entire process extremely easy. Up until the day of our arrival, Rosanna kept in contact going as far as to provide us with directions how to get there including which water taxi to take and the expected cost of same. A few days before we arrived she emailed and let us know that she would be travelling the day we arrived but her sister, Suzanna, would be meeting us to provide keys. When we arrived at the airport we called Suzanna and she walked us though the best way to get there and met us at the water taxi stop to show us to the apartment.

The apartment is located within a 5 minute walk from the taxi stop which made it easy transporting our luggage. When we arrived, she walked us through the apartment going as far as to show us how to use the washing machine, which is a bit different than we are accustomed to. She also had a map laid out for us and walked us though how to move about the city. She also recommended several restaurants nearby, 2 of which we tried and loved. They were, in fact, the best 2 meals we had during our stay. Please, if you stay here, do eat at the small restaurant around the corner, literally 15 seconds from the front door, called LA ZUCCA. They are only open a couple hours for lunch then again later for dinner and have very limited seating so try and make a reservation to guarantee a table. This was the best food we had during out 18 day trip through Europe, absolutely phenomenal food! Look them up on TripAdvisor, I doubt anyone who dines here will walk away not having enjoyed their meal. We would not have given it much consideration had Suzanna not recommended it, I can’t thank her enough!

All in all, our visit to Venice would not have been the same had we stayed elsewhere. Great location, great price, great host, and most of all great memories!!
