Giovanna’s apartment is located in the heart of this beautiful city - perfect to retreat to during the day and freshen up before heading out again. However there were one or two set backs initially, such as getting lost from the ferry drop off point at F. Nove - the supplied directions will get you there eventually but negotiating the winding alleys with your luggage, in a hot unfamiliar environment, is a challenge! (Best look up on the walls for signs to Rialto bridge & navigate from there).
On arrival, electrics were a real problem, with most light bulbs needing replacing (which was done promptly), most electric sockets didn’t work and looked very unsafe. An electrician was called in the next day to repair them. It just seemed like the apartment had been neglected on safety aspects for some time.
Kitchen facilities were very disappointing and basic with a few old cups, glasses and inadequate cutlery provided. It didn’t feel clean and we even found dirty dishes in the dishwasher which suggested that the kitchen hadn’t been cleaned beforehand!
A welcome pack with a few basic items eg. Bottle of water, tea/coffee etc would have been a nice touch too.
Can’t fault the location of this apartment but the interior does not have the “Wow factor” that you would expect having seen the online photos.
