The apartment was very nice. It was clean and nicely decorated. We liked that the location was a little further from many of the tourists and in a more residential area. (Though of course there are tourists everywhere in Venice!) Carlo met us at our stop and showed us to the apartment. He was very nice.

There were a few "quirks" with the apartment, but nothing terrible, and I'm certain they will be addressed promptly. The shower-head was broken, and so it was hard to shower without water going everywhere. Also, the door handle to the main door kept falling off if you pulled a little too hard, but we just kept putting it back together. Furthermore, there was no hand soap in the bathroom, and the bathroom has a strong musty smell. Again, these are fairly minor complaints, and I fully trust that repairs will be made, but in giving honest feedback I feel that they need to be shared.

It should also be noted that the apartment does have a portable air conditioning unit, and that is probably common for Venice, but it's not what we were used to or expected. It looked like the unit would need to be vented to the outside, and we didn't want to leave any of the windows cracked, because the mosquitos were really bad. Therefore we settled for using the fans and found it to be quite hot.

Overall, our stay was satisfactory, but there is some room for improvement.
