Mike had his friend meet us & take us to the apartment - this was done easily which we were thankful for after a long trip. We would have loved some recommendations on places to eat but were happy to explore ourselves.
This apartment is in a very central location, right in the heart of venice on the water. This does mean it can be on the noisier side with some dampness and smells of the canal but seeing the gondolas go past the loungeroom windows is truly unique experience. We didn't have an issue with the entrance flooding.
The apartment was clean & warm with a basic ktchen although a kettle would be nice!
The listing did advertise a/c and there was a unit mounted on the wall but it didn't look to be connected. Just a thought for those staying in summer as I imagine it could get quite humid and there are no fans.
My only other concern was the Mosquitos inside at night. They may come in through the bathroom window so keeping this door shut may help. However when living on the canal right on the water, sometimes these things can't be helped!
