What a wonderful introduction to Venice and it’s beautiful Venetians. Cosetta made sure to communicate with us and assist us every step of the way. We had a long delay at LHR we did not make until 2 am. Cosetta’s friend Silvia was kind enough to meet us the next evening to collect the city tax (€4/ person per night) and had everything set up for us for our late arrival. Instructions were sent with pictures and video through WhatsApp, so make sure to have that downloaded before you leave.
The Castile district is a mixture of locals and tourists, which makes for a better experience than a more crowded and touristy district, imho.
We highly recommend for a family group.
Notes:
It was muggy in Venice in July during the day. The air conditioner is located in both bedrooms and the kitchen/living area.
Great water pressure for showers and the washer/dryer combo had clothes clean and dry in 3 hours.
There are two very accessible water boat stations- Arsonale and Giardina.
Venice is a walking city- no taxis, cars or bicycles, but they do have a lot of ramps, so managing luggage is not too difficult
