Communication with Giacomo was excellent. His associate met us at the boat stop and walked us to our apartment giving us tips and recommendations along the way. When we arrived at the apartment she gave us a detailed map and description of how to get to all of the top sights.

The apartment was very spacious with two beautiful chandeliers and a stunning canal view. The location was great. We were able to walk to San Marco and the Rialto in 10 minutes. The bed was also very comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well.

The biggest downside was the noise level. The first night we were there, there was a live band at the bar right next door to the apartment which was loud until 1:30am. Even with the windows shut and the air conditioning on the noise level was unacceptable. Luckily for us the bar is closed Tuesday and Wednesday so we managed to get some sleep those nights. There is also a school directly across the canal which is very loud each morning.

Aside from the noise there were also other issues inside the apartment. The shower screen did not seal properly so whenever we used the shower water would leak all over the floor. There is also no drain so the floor was constantly wet.

We had to keep the living room windows closed at all times because the neighbours were usually on their balconies smoking and the kitchen crockery was very basic.

Although it was a nice building with a great location I would not recommend this apartment.
