We found the accommodations as described. The location was central to the Rialto and St. Mark’s Square. All of Venice was within an easy ½ hour walk in all directions.

The host met us on time, and provided an overview of the apartment.

There was a washing machine, and plenty of amenities for cooking, dining, and relaxing.

We would have liked another sofa, or a comfortable chair to relax in which would enhance the atmosphere, as there is only one sofa, and a few hard plastic chairs.

The showers, there are two bathrooms, were very small and enclosed compared to North American standards, and felt very cramped and closed in. The shower head was directly overhead, so one was unable to escape the cascade of water. If you have an issue with claustrophobia, then you will find the showers somewhat uncomfortable, but hot water was in unending supply.

Also, we had a hard time keeping the apartment warm, as it was cold for Venice standards when we were there, -3 C at night, and the radiators could not provide enough heat to keep the living space at a typical room temperature.

There are approximately 90 stairs to climb, which was really no issue other than if one had heavy luggage.

Over all the facilities were very comfortable and as already mentioned – exactly as described.
