I stayed at Annita's apartment for 7 nights. The apartment is fantastic!
1. The apartment is spotless; there is not a single speck of dirt in the entire place! The apartment, appliances, and furniture are brand new! It's a much needed respite from 8 hours of walking every day.
2. The apartment is a 5 minute walk to the #1 attractions in Venice: St. Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace, Correr Museum, St. Mark's Square. It is a 10 minute walk to the #2 attractions: Rialto Bridge, Grand Canal. I would come back to the apartment for afternoon breaks, and then head back out to the attractions.
3. The apartment is a corner apartment on the second floor facing the alleyways below. It is normally quiet enough for sleeping.
4. Annita is an amazing host! Via email messages, we communicated through Airbnb. In person, we used Google Translate. She provides detailed directions on transportation to airport, train, supermarket, pharmacy, etc. She is welcome to New York City anytime!
