We enjoyed our stay at Andrea’s apartment.
In my opinion there were things that were ‘great' and things which were 'not quite so good'
The great things.
The apartment is in an excellent location in a quiet residential area in the north of Venice away from the really touristy areas.
It’s spacious so there was plenty of room for myself, wife and two young children.
The owners have done a really nice job with the interiors, the apartment has nice furniture and fittings with two clean and newly fitted bathrooms.
The 'not quite so' good things.
On entry to the apartments the stairway is run down – if I were by myself it would have been fine – however, I had my wife and young girls and they were a bit put off.
In the apartments living room there is wooden laminated flooring – this has had some sort of water damage, so it makes a very loud cracking sound when walking on – which was not relaxing at all.
There is no where to hang clothing so my wife could not hang her clothes.
The bed in the larger double bedroom was extremely hard and uncomfortable so we didn’t sleep very well. However the bed my daughters shared was very comfortable so they slept.
We were met off the Airport Water bus by one of Andrea’s colleagues – as it was after 8pm we were charged 50 euro for late arrival. This was made aware to us by Andrea in later text that it stated in the house rules.
Personally, I think it's too expensive. As the walk from the boat to the apartment takes 5 minutes.
Andrea always responded to texts and although we never actually met him, he was helpful when I did correspond so thanks for that Andrea.
