Our host was very warm and welcoming and promptly met us at the Rialto bridge stop. The apartment looked great and the pictures don't do it justice... simply stunning! Very clean, unique and well equipped. Unfortunately the great start to our stay did not end well. On the second day, the power failed in the entire apartment when we used the kettle. We spent about 6 hours that evening trying to restore it unsuccessfully. The alternate accommodation proposed was terrible hence we slept in the same apartment with some backup lighting and had no hot water in the morning to shower.

This was an isolated incident in my opinion as the apartment is still fairly new. Our host did refund us for that one night however we were inconvenienced quite a bit considering we only had one full day in Venice. Nevertheless, I would go back and stay there again...
