A beautiful apartment a bit off the big streets with all the tourists. Finding the entrance gate was a challenge, but probably because if you walk from St Lucia with your luggage to the space it’s a good trek in the heat so your brain takes a second to figure it out.
Alessandro sent lots of videos about the way to access and use the keys so that was super helpful for our stay and the ones we had after when we had similar keys and less help.
The space was immaculate and true to photos. Hearing the boats putter by on the canal was amazing. Super strong Wi-Fi with a small outage during our stay (not the hosts fault, Venice overall has spotty service for internet and phones).
When you stay there is L’osteria Anticca and a gelateria just steps out as well as a caffetteria. It’s a wonderfully situated space and every single spot deserves a visit.
If Venice is on your itinerary I’d recommend staying here instead of a hotel on a Main Street for sure.
Only drawback is managing trash. It’s a little cumbersome, even for someone from the states in a city with lots of recycling rules. It’s a series of islands so they manage their waste very particularly. The host tells you how to do it though so just listen and you’ll be okay, but prepare for thinking more about trash on your vacation than you’re likely used to.
