If you've ever been to Venice, you know how challenging it can be to find an address in their Medieval maze of numbers. We got very close but couldn't figure out the exact location. I texted out host who immediately called me and asked that I describe our location. He said he knew where we were and said he meet us in less than 60 seconds. He did! After a warm and enthusiastic greeting, he walked us another few yards to the flat. He gave us a thorough orientation and invited us to drop by his store later on.
The accomodations were perfect. Spacious, clean, comfortable, and well located. We were just a few yards from all the action, but tucked into a little residential street that offered some peace and quiet.
We had just disembarked from a cruise and this was our last stop. The fact that we had a washing machine, an iron and ironing board and even access to an outdoor clothesline was an added benefit to my laundry obsessed wife.
Our host described in advance that it takes a minute for the hot water to come up, but once we got used to it, it proved to be no bother.
The bed was comfortable, which is sometimes all that matters. It's a two bedroom unit with one bath so it's a great place for small families or couples who don't mind sharing a bath. The middle bedroom which we didn't use, is bright and bathed in sunlight most of the day. By virtue of the building's positioning in a tightly packed area, the daylight in most of the rest of the apartment is subdue. But if you're a late sleeper, that's a good thing.
