We spent a week in this apartment and would recommend it as a place to stay. The location is easily the best thing about it. It is about 5 minutes' walk from San Stae vaporetto stop where the Alilaguna airport boat also stops. A Co-op supermarket is nearby as well as two local bakeries, a greengrocer, a gelateria and a few good small restaurants. The area has a great atmosphere - very few tourists, Grand Canal is 2 minutes' walk away and the streets outside not too noisy (the apartment is on one of the main thoroughfares to the train station so we did hear people at odd times throughout the night and early in the morning). The apartment is large, clean (though the pale sofas are a bit stained in places) and comfortable however some of the basics could be improved. There is wi-fi but it was quite unreliable so we mostly just used our own phone networks which were also faster (which is ok because we are from the UK and charges in Europe are no longer an issue). Florence provided some useful written information about rubbish collection, how to use the coffee pot and favourite restaurants but there was not much more than that. There was no ironing board and the iron is a tiny travel iron which does not work very well. The kitchen sponge was very old and dirty - we discovered they cost less than 1 euro for 3 at the local supermarket. We bought our own. There was only one spare rubbish bag - so we used supermarket bags. There were no dishwasher tablets however we were told 'you can buy them at the supermarket for about 2 euros'. We felt that for the price we had paid for the week that a handful of tablets (at least one for each day of our stay) should have been included, as well as at least 2-3 rubbish bags and a clean sponge! Florence's management style is decidedly 'light-touch'. She didn't reply to any of our emails prior to our visit. Three were sent - one to say hello and request the booking and two to send our flight arrival time and clarify the cleaning charge information (the second because we had no reply to the first). Instead we were sent their standard email for guests about 3 days before we arrived and received nothing from her until I sent a message via Whatsapp the day before we left for Venice - slightly in desperation because I was worried that our booking was not secured due to the lack of personal contact. Florence also did not meet us at the Vaporetto stop near the apartment as agreed, despite us giving her more than the hour's notice she requested. Fortunately this was not a problem for us as we had a map and knew roughly where the apartment was. She was around 15-20 minutes late. We do however recommend this as a place to stay and...
