Our trip to Venice was absolutely perfect because of this AirBNB. We were met at the boat terminal and walked the short distance to the accommodation which was extremely helpful as first time visitors. The host spent time to sit with us and give restaurant and sight seeing tips that helped us have a more Venetian than tourist experience. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the apartment has everything you need to feel at home. We had a wonderful stay and are glad this is the accomodation we chose! Could not be happier with out hosts.
For those who comes next:
- There is a Co-Op Supermarket less than 5 minutes walk from the accomodation that is good for basics. If you are planning on being in town a little longer walk to the end of the street, turn right and head to Cannaregio District. On Calle Del Pistor (Street) you will find a really big Co-Op or if you want to be dazzled, keep going a little further to Despar. The meats, cheeses, and confections at both places will blow your mind.
- The first day you get in book a dinner reservation for one or two days in advance at Osteria all Frasca. Get the Octopus. You won’t be disappointed.
- If you are planning on getting around the city quite a bit or going out to Murano or Burano it will cost you 15 Euros for the round trip. For 20 Euros you can get an all day pass and take as many as you want. Plan you’re day and if you’re doing more than a simple round trip, get an all day pass. You can buy the on the boat, but you MUST approach the boat staff yourself when you board and ask to buy a ticket otherwise they’ll sting you a hefty fine.
