The apartment is well situated and close to some great bars and restaurants. Easily placed for the vaporetto stops. Easy to walk into St Marks Square from Academia. However, after our first night we had no hot water or heating. The response the following morning was prompt but then it stopped working again and this time our messages for it to be repaired went unanswered. Very disappointed. We were out most of the time and to return to a cold apartment with no hot water to shower put a damper on our stay. If you’re going to book this apartment then seek assurances that the heating & hot water works. It may not matter so much in the summer but in the winter it makes it unbearable.
