Andrea's apartment is super clean and neat, had amazing unique decor, and is perfectly located - so close to Piazza San Marco. There is a great supermarket nearby about a 4-5 minute walk. The non-stop water traffic of taxis and gondolas at the windows is amazing to watch. It is like a live painting. The apartment itself is huge by European standards, but is perfect for 2 people. It was nice that you only had to go up one step to enter the apartment - it is basically the entire 1st floor of the building. It is also a bit darker since it is on the 1st floor but there was plenty of well placed lighting (even in the bathroom there is an extra bright light to be able to do makeup, etc.) The bathroom was huge and the shower water was hot and pressure was good. The towel warmer was perfect to have toasty towels to use. Plenty of counter space as well and the hair dryer worked as expected. More than enough toilet paper for our 5 day stay. The bed was super comfortable and big enough for two large adults. Plenty of space in the living area to open suitcases, however there is ample closet space as well if you want to unpack. The safe was nice to have to put our valuables in. The kitchen was great - only wish there was a toaster to make toast in the morning. The cutting board on the countertop was perfect to use to prepare food. The fridge is huge by European standards so we stocked up on sodas and water and snacks. The dishwasher was a nice surprise, but we never really used it for just the two of us. Plenty of dish soap and garbage bags as well. Plus there were two separate bins for recyclables - check online what days to put the different types of trash outside your door by 8:30am and they will take it away. You'll see the neighbors doing the same thing - just be sure to close the bag tightly or the seagulls will pick the trash apart (ask me how I know). The washing machine was perfect to wash our clothes in daily (I always bring my own tide pods to use). The clothes dried within hours ready to be worn the next day. As we were there for Carnevale in Winter, the heating/temperature controls were perfect. The wifi was as all wifi is in Venice - a bit slow and sometimes spotty, but it worked well for our needs and we were able to do work on the computers as needed. There is no English language channel on the tv, but who cares - you are not in Venice to watch tv, but rather to wander around and get lost in the labyrinth of streets! We took a taxi service to and from the train station Venezia S. Lucia - worth every penny as they drop you off literally around the corner from the front door. This way you don't have to schlepp your suitcases over bridges, etc. All in all it was one of the best airbnb stays we've had (and we have stayed in airbnbs all over Europe, USA and S. America). Great communication with Andrea and he makes it super easy to enjoy his lovely city of Venezia! We will definitely stay here again!
