Hi,
3 friends and I are going to Venice for a few days and are looking at airbnb's to stay in. I was wondering what area would be best to stay in (safe, central, near cool things). Thanks!

Venice is small and compact and has public transport via Vaporettos. There aren't any unsafe areas and each area has charms of its own. Stay on Venice Island and NOT in Mestre on the industrial mainland.

Any of the 6 districts except Giudecca. I'll add that the eastern half of Castello is pretty far from everything.

Any area will be ok. We stayed on Guidecca, it is a short boat ride away but there was a large hostel there.

Draw a line on your map from Piazle Roma to the San Basilio vap stop. Don't stay west of that line. Also, just for convenience, anything east of the Arsenale is getting a bit out of the way for a short visit.
We like Dorsoduro - we will be there on Tuesday afternoon!
