Marc and Elisabeth were the most gracious hosts, staying in their beautiful 14th century Gothic apartment made our stay in Venice unforgettable. The photos and description as per Air BnB are completely accurate. Marc communicated very well with us and provided a very detailed document of how to reach the apartment and places to visit during our stay. Elisabeth was waiting to great us on arrival, is a charming person and gave us further tips for our local area. Included were two bottles of wine, fresh fruit and she spent a good half hour with us to make us feel welcome with a run down on the local area Cannaregio. There are only 50,000 residents of Venice with 70,000 tourists there daily. Cannaregio is very much a local area and off the main Tourist beat ( as much as possible ) We interacted with the locals from the local bakery lady to our favourite wine bar, you only hear Italian spoken in most places you go, awesome. We met our Gondolier enjoying a Pinot in this bar, talked to him and got to know him before our trip. In a very small way we felt like we were a part of the local community, like we were living here rather than just visiting. This was all made possible by staying with Marc and Elisabeth I couldn't recommend staying with them more highly.
Some of the other reviews point out that there can be some noise associated with the Bar (40 Ladroni) which is immediately below the apartment. We stayed for 5 nights, the only night this was noticeable was the Friday, I used foam earplugs on this one occasion and slept soundly.
