The view, the view, the view! Simply incredible and something that needs to be foremost in your mind as you consider this very nice apartment. The small balcony is just perfect for enjoying the Duomo seemingly at arm’s length for a toast with your glass of wine. It’s not just a great vista some of the time—sunrise, sunset, and every time in between, truly. The apartment is stylish and nicely furnished, with comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. We were a family of four and cooked meals and shared the space quite comfortably. WiFi was excellent, and the A/C worked very well (there are wall units in each bedroom and the living/dining/kitchen area. We also used the washer for clothes and it worked well too. Hosts were communicative and prompt on the phone, although we had to wait some little time to check in ( it was the high season, but still not great).
The cons were few but noteworthy...remember, the view! To get such a view, you must go up, and in this building there is no elevator. So it’s four flights of steep stairs to get up to the apartment, and with luggage it’s a heavy breathing endeavor even for fit folks. If you have mobility considerations, then this is not the Airbnb for you. It is very near the Accademia Gallery and Piazzo San Marco, but a grocery store is half a km away (and again, you have to haul those groceries up those stairs!). It’s a quiet neighborhood as well, but restaurants and cafes aren’t super close either. That’s the trade off for...yep, the view! Really incredible. We would stay again
