Nicola and Tommaso were great hosts. Communicated instantly and helped with any request. They are unable to allow you to check in early or check out late, but other than that they were very attentive, gave great advice and were very helpful.
The location is pretty convenient. You feel like a local, yet you are a short walk from some decent restaurants (you MUST try Fluffy Brunch a few steps away - fantastic breakfast and coffee). Less than a 20 minute walk to St Marks and easy to get around everywhere with the public transportation (vaporetos, taxis, etc.). Getting lost in Venice was a true pleasure and the location of this apartment was perfect. And when you have to leave you are 400 yards away from the water bus station which made things easy.
The apartment itself was compact but very functional. Clothes would dry within several hours on the rack (not the 2 days it took in Amalfi!). Peak heat, so the one air conditioner unit they have in the living room helped somewhat, but we were still able to sleep well. One toilet, two showers was a bit unusual, but with the 5 of us adults (two parents, 3 adult children) we made it work just fine. The steps to the unit were not difficult, but you should take the stairs slowly with your bags.
The value and the location are definitely worth considering for this unit. We definitely recommend this apartment on those two key metrics. Thank you Nicola, we had an amazing stay in Venice!
