I really loved my Airbnb stay at Ca Malia in Venice. If I went back to Venice at any point, I would definitely try to book my stay with this Airbnb residence! The location is perfect—you are close to the train station, (VERY) close to the Vaparetto Stop (San Marcuola), and if you don’t feel like taking a Vaparetto to the Rialto bridge (because, say, you want to access the San Marco sestiere), then it’s not too much of a problem to walk the 20 minutes or so around the canal to the area of the Rialto bridge. There are a number of great aspects to this Airbnb rental that I loved: 1). The neighborhood—both directions on the street—lead you to numerous places to eat, have a Spritz and snack, see lovely canals, etc. 2) There is a very good grocery store—a little like a whole foods—very close, and a Coop, which is also good, cheaper and close as well. 3) Also, you are very close to a wonderful area nearby: (the nearby neighborhood with “Fondamenta” canals: Misericordia, dei Ormesini, de la Sensa, Madonna dell’Orto, Gasparo Contarini, etc. These parallel canals are easy to navigate and it’s easy find your way back to your apartment. Also, they are more “local” and have great restaurants, small shops and local families as well as tourists. 4) The apartment is spacious, very clean, and in great shape. The wood and marble floors feel wonderful and the bathroom/shower is quite large for a city apartment. Additionally, the apartment is fully outfitted and would be very good for a longer stay. I was in Venice participating in some workshops and found the kitchen complete in terms of stove/fridge/freezer, etc.; could wash clothes, use a dishwasher etc. All very helpful. Also, because of the division of the 2 large-ish living spaces, you feel as if the apartment is quite large… would not feel cramped with two people, etc. 5) And finally, Rudi is Super helpful. Like others, my plane was late and he was so accommodating and waited late in the evening at the train station for me to arrive. He helped with my luggage and made sure that I understood everything that was available in the neighborhood. He points out important different restaurants and stores, etc. and is available for a tour of the neighborhood as well. Staying at Ca Malia really enhanced my entire trip! Thank you Rudi!! Loved Ca Malia!!
