We spent a week at Lisa’s apartment in Venice. It is a great place and exactly as pictured.
It’s extremely spacious which is not easy to find very often in Venice.
The location was generally quiet except for hearing the motor boats going by from the two bedroom windows.
Location wise: a bit of a walk to St. Marks Square (12-15 Mins.) and Rialto...BUT very convenient to the Vaporetti stops at both Ospedale and Ft. Nova’s. These stops get you to ALL the places you’d wanna go to including Murano and Burano.
Check in: Davide was fantastic! He actually met us at the Ospedale vaporetto stop and helped with our baggage on the way to the apartment.
The apartment was clean and neat. Lisa has thought of many details to help make guests stays really great. The kitchen has all the dishes and cookware you will need, too!
AIR CONDITIONERS: Expect both to work well to cool you down.
One major issue happened when there was a severe storm. The entire apartment lost power for four hours. Understandable with that type of severe storm but the following night during a typical rain storm the apartment again lost all power leaving us with no lights, no AC and no hot water to shower. This second outage lasted for more than 11 hours and we were stuck sitting in the dark eating crackers for dinner and unable to shower that evening until the following morning. Surprised it lost power so easily during the second storm so we wonder if this is a common occurrence or not? Most of Venice still had power during this time.
We contacted Lisa and Davide about both power losses and were told it was not an apartment issue.
