The apartment is wonderful: spacious, clean and more than livable. The host’s brother met us and did a superb job of acclimating us to the space and the it’s requirements such as recycling.
My only advice would be to recognize that if you like to sleep with windows open, the apartment is directly across from the very busy drop-off-ports from the one and only hospital. So if you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs and enjoy the connection with being a true Venetian!!
