The apartment was clean and as advertised. There is air conditioning available only in the main room, but as it was unusually hot during our stay we felt only a bit of a reprieve from the heat when we returned to the apartment. It was a bit on the small side for our family of six adults as not all of us were sharing beds. The apartment is convenient to shops and a grocery store as well as bank machines. There is also a gondola service around the corner from the apartment. Cristina was not available to meet us when we arrived or left Venice, but ensured there was someone available to meet us.
