The location is great - off a quiet street very close to the train - NO BRIDGES. Marisa (Novella’s mother) welcomed us when it was 106 degrees in Venice. While it was very hot, my only complaint was that the AC didn’t cool the apartment - it only cools the foyer. When it’s not so hot, this probably isn’t an issue, but it was a big issue during a crazy, record-breaking heat wave. Please note the walls are very thin - we could hear babies crying and people talking. White noise solves a lot of problems!! Thank you to Marisa for her help and smiling face (we did not meet Novella)!!!
