This was our first experience with Airbnb and I was a bit nervous. Although I was never sure if we were dealing with Georgio or Antonio the responses were efficient. We took the water taxi directly to the apartment. We were in contact with the host from the airport and we only waited a few minutes for Antonio to greet us. The apartment was steps from the water taxi. (On the return trip to the train station we took the Vaporetto.) It was a quick ( step free) less than 8 minute walk.
The apartment was gorgeous. Historical and modern at the same time. There are spectacular water views from every window. The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms quiet. Just a few minute walk from St Marks square and plenty of charming restaurants and neighborhoods close by. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Each child had their own room and bathroom. The host left some suggestions for restaurants but we did not take advantage. There is a supermarket steps from the apartment too. The city has strict rules in trash and we were informed of how to dispose of trash. We opted to just take our minimal trash a few minutes to a trash site. Not a big deal at all.
Thank you for a magical stay in a magical city.
