Check-in:
Arriving to the apartment and check-in was very easy & smooth. Marcella met us at the Vaporetto stop and walked us to the apartment (we gave her a phone call once we arrived at San Silvestro. Having a working phone there makes things a lot easier).

Apartment & Location:
The apartment was clean and just like the pictures and in a very nice location. It is in a very central and authentic neighborhood. The apartment is equipped with everything you would probably need (pots, glasses, utensils, mosquito vapes...etc.). The bathroom had clean towels and was in a nice condition. it has an AC and a heater as well. There is also a nice small courtyard to have breakfast in outside the apartment door.

Comment:
My only negative experience that I shared with Pier was that there was a bad smell in the room (musty/damp/mildew kinda smell). Over the phone Pier explained that this is because Venice is surrounded by water and so has a lot of humidity in general and that is normal for apartments in Venice. Marcella then came over to put ground coffee in a cup to help remove the smell but unfortunately this did not work and the smell remained for the whole two nights of our stay just as strong. I personally believe this smell is not from the humidity (because other apartments in Venice do not smell like this) but rather that the bed sheets and duvets were washed clean but not properly dried and the apartment was closed on them before they fully dry which resulted in a stagnant-water & musty kinda smell. Luckily we spent most of the time out in the city but coming back to the apartment and sleeping between damp bed linens was not comfortable with this smell around.
