We very much enjoyed our stay in Venice, and this apartment had many positive benefits. I will list both the good things and things which could be improved.
The Good Things:
- Great location - close to everything but still quiet in the evening;
- Good communication from Leonardo - good directions to the apartment and well explained check-in procedures;
- Having a refrigerator and washer was great. We saved money by doing some grocery shopping and prepared some of our own meals. Note - there is no dryer;
- Apartment is very spacious, with lots of extras - blankets, drawer space, and a well equipped kitchen;
- The air conditioning is very good and cools the apartment very quickly;
- There is a second half-bathroom, which can be very useful at times;
- The balcony was a nice touch - it was good for drying clothes we washed (there is a drying rack available) - and for sitting at the end of the day or enjoying breakfast.
Things Which Could Be Improved:
- There is a lot of mold in the shower. I'm allergic to mold and my eyes were very itchy whenever I entered the bathroom. Some bleach is needed;
- While the apartment was generally clean, there was a lot of dust in non-obvious places - like under tables or inside lamps;
- The mattress was very thin and very hard - it was quite inexpensive and well-used. The bed frame was very inexpensive and the old fashion "spring system" appears to be held together by some rope. If you have a bad back, you will may not be very comfortable.
Overall, the good things exceeded the minor improvements needed, and I suspect most guests will thoroughly enjoy their stay.
