We were met at the apartment by Sabrina early as our train came in way before checkin. She offered to keep the bags there and put them into the apartment after it was ready. This allowed us to get started exploring the city in our limited time. Thank you again!
Pros:
- Cute apartment that really is unique to Venice.
- lots of extra kitchen stuff
- plenty of hot water
- close to train and bus stations
- has a washer for laundry
Cons:
- the ac is nice and cold, but is pretty loud. It is one of those little stand alone units that you duct the hot exhaust outside and the condensate line to drain....
- the condensate line from the AC is not plumbed to a drain and is in a jug. You have to remember to empty it every 3-4 hours or it will drain onto the floor. We worked around this by draining it before bed and setting the timer on the unit to shut off after 3 hours. When we would wake up ( either from being hot or for a bathroom break) we would drain it and reset for 3 hours.
- there is an odd little common type area across the street that according to the mask shop owner next door is different things on different nights. Our first night it was some type of music bar with lots of people on the streets drinking (25/30 or so). It was typical loud talking, smoking and cheering at the end of songs. The apartment is on the second floor but the windows do not block much sound and do not appear to be sealed (smelled cigarette smoke from the group a few times). The AC noise was actually a blessing this night as it covered up most of the noise. Sabrina let told us that the music usually stops by 11. We cannot comment but it was quite at 2 am when we got up to drain the ac jug. Our second night there is was a quite food gathering or some type. You wouldn’t even know anyone was there they were so quite.
