Location
Pros
As advertised, the apartment is located 1 minute from the Piazza de S. Marcos. The living room balcony opens to a nice and busy square with restaurants and coffee shops. The rooms are in the back and quiet.
Cons
The building door is besides a public restroom. There is plenty of traffic during the day in the alley and a noticeable smell of urine.
The apartment
The apartment is managed by a company that appears to have several apartments in area. A property manager will greet you and show you the apartment. The property manager is responsive but seems busy managing several properties. The apartment needs some upkeep (A/C remotes not working, toilets running). The manager was aware of the problem with the toilet and called someone to come and fix it but the problem was just solved in out last day. The decoration/furniture is a mix-match of old and modern pieces. The kitchenette is updated and decently equipped. The apartment is located at the top of a steep staircase and might not be accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Overall, our stay was pleasant. Definitely, appreciated the overall location.
