We were a group of 5-friends. Carla met us at the Venice People Mover after our cruise and well before our 3 pm checkin which was greatly appreciated. Instead of paying to store our bags, which can be spendy in Venice, Carla was able to store bags for additional 25euro (good deal); and she even made the apt. available to us early.

There is a 1.5euro/night city tax per person which Carla collected at time of stay. She was also required to take a photo of passports for poliza requirement (this happened to us in Roma as well).

Carla explained many apartment features (e.g., garbage pickup, how kitchen functioned, etc.). The hydro shower is awesome, but a little tricky to figure out settings so make sure you figure out settings before getting in! Great A/C window units also provided. The beds and couches are quite firm and would be more comfortable with a memory foam topper.

The location was great, easy access to Grand Canal and as another Reviewer posted, to a vaporetto station.

Lastly, there are 35 steps, steep narrow staircase leading to the apartment from an inside entry which were difficult for several in our group, but it did not outweigh the benefits of staying at the apartment.

I would highly recommend this accommodation.
