Even though Venice is a dream vacation for many, the cost of a trip there is less than ideal. Though the city is home to shopping malls, hotels, famous landmarks, and must-try food, everything is expensive. This is where Airbnb comes in handy. With the increasing prominence of Airbnb properties, it is easy to find accommodation for a fraction of a hotel’s price. And Venice is no exception.
As a major tourist destination, Venice has countless Airbnb rentals spread out all over the island. Not only do you get the benefits of lower cost, but you also get the full experience of living like a local Venetian. But it is important to note that most Airbnbs listed below do not include Venice’s tourist tax of 1.50 EUR (1.70 USD) per person per night for up to five nights (no tax from the sixth night). The hosts will most likely ask for this fee to be paid in cash at check-in. Some of the apartments listed below are rare finds, so if there is one you like available on the dates you plan to visit, book it as soon as possible! Keep reading for a rundown of the top Airbnbs in Venice.
