Whenever I come to Venice I like to stay in the Arsenale area as it is close to the bienalle.
This Airbnb is a two minute walk from the Alillagunia boat stop at the Arsenale, which is incredibly convenient.
There is the potential for a lockbox but we met with Paolo’s representative Luigi who walked us through the house and especially how to open the door.
One must contact him as to your arrival time through a messaging app ideally.
It is on 3 levels, with the lounge and kitchen on ground floor, 2 bedrooms and bathroom on 1st floor and second shower with balcony on second.
Showers are tight but that comes with the territory. Upstairs one is better.
Air conditioning is in the lounge and both bedrooms. It is excellent, though I think they may be linked. A manual could be helpful but they can be figured out.
There is a washing machine which worked well.
Complimentary coffee and sugar was there which was great. There is an excellent little coffee shop around the corner though; a minute away.
Used the roof a few times which was great as there aren’t really many windows.
I appreciated the black out windows after traveling.
A great hint in the area is the restaurant and the bar on the campo d’arsenale.
Restaurant only takes cash.
Bar takes credit cards.
Also look for the accordionist on the square; I love seeing him and he is extraordinarily talented.
Shops are close by in via garibaldi.
All in all an enjoyable stay.
