The apartment is in a very quiet corner of Castello. Supermarkets and shops are about 10-15 minutes away. The Celestia vaporetto stop is 2 minutes away, but is rarely or no longer served from about 8:30 p.m.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor. The kitchen-living room is spacious, the bedroom with a double bed has a 5m view of the mighty Arsenal wall. The sleeping facilities are okay, but the bed in the children's room is also a narrow youth bed. The mattresses are quite saggy. The sofa bed is at most an emergency solution.
The apartment is in acceptable condition, even if some of the furniture is very old. We found the kitchen moderately equipped, few plates, cups, glasses, broken toaster. Unfortunately, the oven was unusable. The shower offers little room to move, but the bathroom is in good condition. Elena kindly tried to remedy the deficiencies that could be corrected at short notice. Communication with her was always very fast, short, concise, factual.
The apartment is well suited for a stay, even if it is a bit out of the way. But the distances are manageable in Venice, so okay. To use the apartment just for sleeping it is ok.
