The location of Claudia's apartment is terrific. Easy to get to the vaporetto, on a quieter block, yet still easy to to find, and it doesn't feel quite as touristy as a lot of Venice. The apartment was very nice – large, well maintained, bedrooms air conditioned, and full of light. However, we felt uncomfortable in the apartment during our stay. It is clear that the family still lives in the space part time (family photos and personal belongings are everywhere), and that they want to keep it in great shape. As a result, they have literally taped up pieces of paper with rules all over the space that go far beyond asking guests to be respectful. There are instructions from not dripping water on the bathroom floor to not sitting on certain pieces of furniture. Despite its positives, we would choose to stay elsewhere next time.
