Fantastic does not even begin to describe our stay at Stefano's home.
Stefano and his brother Roberto welcomed us in a lovely manner & spent about an hour answering our questions about Venice, transportation, where to buy water taxi passes, etc. They showed us around the extremely clean apartment , which was complete with stocked fridge (eggs, milk, butter, toast, beers), and snacks for breakfast. They also had an outlet converter, map, guidebook, and laminated print outs with various tips for our stay awaiting our arrival. Stefano is extremely responsive and goes above and beyond to ensure you have a safe and comfortable stay (you can communicate with him via AirBnB app or WhatsApp). Stefano also includes a guide within the AirBnB app, which is very helpful. BTW - there is an amazing air conditioning system in the bedroom which makes visiting in summer a breeze.
In terms of location, this place is excellent. Walk right across the street for the #2 bus, which takes you to the water taxi station, or you can walk across the steps to Piazzle Roma. Very easy, and much cheaper than staying in Venice.
We kept bringing up how lovely Stefano and Roberto were during the rest of our trip! They made our stay fun and memorable.
