We came to Venice for our first wedding anniversary and this was our first time using Airbnb so we were a little nervous. However, Giovanni put us at ease straight away!
We were provided with a step by step guide, complete with photos, on how to reach the flat from the airport. Giovanni met us at the flat to show us round and made us feel very welcome.
The flat was perfect for our stay - light, airy, clean and spacious. The living room space is a bonus, we were able to take breaks from the busyness of the city and relax at home. Although the flat is very central, it is tucked away down a side street so doesn't feel noisy or overlooked. The view out across the rooftops is really special. Towels and bed linen is provided, as well as tea, coffee and biscuits. There is also a fan in the bedroom, which we used every night with the temperature above 30 degrees. I'd recommend bringing mosquito repellent if you visit during the summer as I was bitten a lot (although my husband wasn't at all so could be down to luck). There are small supermarkets less than 10 minutes away which saved us a lot of money for our breakfasts and lunches.
Giovanni also gave us tips and local recommendations for things to do, places to eat, and the best times to visit the particularly touristy hot-spots, which was really helpful and meant that we really made the most of our stay.
If we return to Venice we will most certainly try to stay here again! Thank you Giovanni for such a wonderful stay!
