One of my best Airbnb stays ever!!
The apartment: is massive and the photos don’t do it justice. It’s very well-equipped, designed to a high spec and very clean. Multiple balconies, stylish design, huge kitchen suitable for cooks, and big TVs with surround sound.
The gym in the garage is a big bonus, it’s not just a few weights in a corner- it’s a proper set up with squat rack, selection of free weights, stationary bike etc.
Location: Fantastic! Very close to the beach and lots of shops/restaurants, but no disturbances at night, and I’m a light sleeper.
Communication : Stephen was incredibly friendly and communicative. Responded to lots of little questions throughout my stay almost immediately and was very flexible.
Safety: I am a woman travelling alone, and I felt really safe in this apartment. I was a bit apprehensive about Venice in general, but this unit is in a building that is set back from the street behind a locked gate, and then there’s a secure front door to the unit - so two layers of security. It’s also first and second floor (not ground), and none of the balconies are easily accessible from the street or nearby properties. As good as it gets!
Access: Check-in was easy and contact free. I also really appreciated not having a physical key throughout my stay. Both the gate and the front door are unlocked using keypads which was great because didn’t have to worry about losing keys and fumbling through pockets and purses late at night.
Overall: I love how this apartment really feels like someone’s home (it is!) and not a unit that is made to rent, which means you have access to all the things you’d want at home - bikes and surfboards to take to the beach, laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets, every kitchen appliance and utensil imaginable, an iron, tons of closet space, etc etc. It’s really “lived in” and has charachter, yet (crucially) perfectly clean and made extra comfortable for visitors.
All the reasons why we stay in Airbnbs rather than hotels are captured by this property.
Fantastic place. Definitely recommend.
