The house is clean and location is pretty good. Your only an approximately 10 minute bus ride to Piazzale Roma (main bus station). Then a fast 15 minute walk from there to Piazza San Marco (aka St Marks Square). I say fast because one of the days I timed my self to see how quickly I could get there as I had a ferry to catch and I did it in 15 minutes. If you want a more leisurely walk it will take you anything from 30-60 minutes. The path to the square has a lot of shops, restaurants, pasticcerias and gelato shops. If it's your first time walking this path, don't rush it, take your time and take it all in. It's a beautiful walk. I never caught the water taxi (€7) to the square, I didn't see the point. You see so much more on foot and it's not that far anyway. Unfortunately the apartment itself is quite restricted in terms of what you can do in it. You can't use your hair straightener, curler or your own personal hair dryer. Don't ask me why, there was just a piece of paper saying you couldn't. An explanation more than "for safety reasons" would have been good. You can't use an iron to iron your clothes. It explains why there isn't one in the apartment. The water pressure in the bathroom is very slow. This makes showering and brushing your teeth etc longer than usual. There is a washing machine but you can't use it. The way the shower head is situated on the wall makes showering rather tedious. It is not on either end of the bath tub but instead in the middle. The worst thing about this place is the noise. The walls of this apartment building are PAPER THIN! Literally! You can hear everything and I mean EVERYTHING next door or upstairs are doing. I heard yelling, screaming, even normal tone talking (then again Italians talk very loud). Washing machines, walking inside the apartment, water taps, showers, tv/radio, dog barking and the moving of furniture. To make matters worse one of the apartments either upstairs or next door were renovating so there was drilling and banging to add to all this rather unpleasant experience. Sure the renovating took place during the day which I probably would not have heard if I weren't home but they didn't stop until 8pm. Apparently in Italy this is normal...coming from Australia where that is NOT normal, it was hard to understand. At one point the noises woke me up at 1:30am and thankfully I had earplugs to help me go back to sleep. What I am trying to stress here is that, this place is NOT quiet. I think anyone staying here is ought to know that and be prepared for it if you choose to stay here. After a long day of exploring you want to come back to a quiet home, I unfortunately was not able to do...
