This was our first trip to Venice. We are a family of Five - 2 adults and 3 teenagers. Veronica was extremely helpful. Super great communication and quick response time. Veronica met us at our water taxi and walked us to our apartment.
The apartment was made in the 1500s, I believe, and so you need to expect flaws. My 2 teenage girls slept in the living room area on the couch converter bed. They were a little scared because the long windows were open to the outside. They had the windows and blinds shut the whole time. Our main bedroom was connected to another small bedroom - weird layout. Our bedroom was extremely hot in June. We couldn't leave the windows open at night because of the mosquitoes. My teenage son stayed in the connecting small room and he liked it because he had the best fan in the entire apartment. The kitchen was equipment with cooking supplies. Water was very good to drink from the tap. It was also unusually really cold - better than bottled water. Now the bathroom...This was the disappointing factor in the apartment. The shower was very outdated. I don't think the plumbing was updated since originally built (I'm being sarcastic). The shower head was not functional. It kept on falling and was aimed in all the wrong places. I had to tip toe to get the water on me. I had to stand on this little step in the small shower which I hit my head on the shower angled roof. The water pressure was very very low. You could not get the right temperature either. It was either too cold or too hot. The temperature also changed even if you didn't adjust the temperature. The shower door was also broken. It didn't close properly. I'm not sure if this is how it is throughout Venice. If so, I apologize. There are no Mirrors in the apartment except in the bathroom. That was difficult with 2 teenage girls.
The location was very good. We were central and walked everywhere. Famous sites were nearby. Less then 20 minutes of walking distance to all major sites.
I love Venice! This was a great experience. From a long hot day of walking, I would like a good shower and a comfortable temperature to sleep in. If traveling in the summer, find a place with air conditioning and a good working shower. However for the price and location - Veronica's place is a must.
