Albina’s place was in the PERFECT location of Venice. It was away from the touristy part of the city, so when we walked out the building it was not crowded with people and we were able to eat at more authentic restaurants that weren’t full of tourist. But, the touristy part of town is not far away, with the boat bus stop not far away or just a pretty walk.
In addition, Albina was out of town while I stayed at her place. She arranged for her friend who spoke English to meet us at the boat bus stop and walk us to her place and made sure we were settled in. She was extremely quick to respond via the Airbnb message if I needed to contact her.
