Communication: Alberta is fabulous! Responds immediately and prefers what's app to communicate as did most of our hosts in Italy. She even gave us the name of a private water taxi to what's app contact. Riccardo literally drove up as we walked out of train station and dropped us one minute from Alberta's apartment. So easy!
Location: fabulous! two minute walk to Rialto bridge. Three minute walk to our favorite Gelato place Gallonetto and five minute walk to St Marks Square.
Apartment: slept all 7 of us easily. She contacted me the night before to see how to make up the beds:master bedroom with king bed, choice between king or two twins in two of the bedrooms. and a nice pull out full bed in the other room. two kitchens, two washers, three nice bathrooms, good water pressure, nice powerful hair dryer in each bathroom, great AC, ironing board, water bottles in fridges. Pro tip: close windows AND wooden shutters to keep mosquitos out, late night noise and early morning sun. You will most likely need mosquito spray, they ate us up.
No freezer, no shampoo, no elevator, which was not a negative for us.
