We loved visiting Venice, and this apartment was an affordable option during a very busy tourist season. The apartment is within a half-mile walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do in Venice, which made getting around easy. Isabella was a lovely host, and she was helpful and communicative throughout the stay.
She met us at the water bus stop when we arrived (from the airport, take the Alilaguna line 1/Orange water bus to the S. Angelo stop), walked us to the apartment and gave us a little tour and instructions. She also helped make restaurant reservations in advance when we asked.
Overall the space was clean, and the WiFi was fast. We also appreciated having a washer in the apartment. There is no dryer, but our clothes dried quickly on a fold-out line dryer.
On the downside, the bed a bit uncomfortable, and it’s not actually a full bed, it’s two singles pushed together so there is a hard line in the middle. The entrance area of the apartment at times smelled like sewage, which Isabella said she couldn’t fix because it’s due to the tides. It seemed to linger throughout the stay and sometimes we could smell it when we were in bed. It wasn't unbearable but definitely noticeable as you entered.
