There were some real positives and real negatives. On the plus side, the location is excellent, the view of the Grand Canal from the rooftop is wonderful, and the rooms are generally quite nice. On the minus side, the apartment is on the fifth floor, and the elevator didn’t work for three days, leading to long walks up and down. In at least two rooms, the a/c didn’t work for four days, which was quite problematic on hot days. The water went out for 14 hours, which meant you couldn’t use the toilet or sinks or showers. The electricity in the kitchen also went out, so you couldn’t use any appliances. We were four couples and there was only one set of keys for the first two days, which also was difficult. The management company was nice and responsive, but they often couldn’t fix the problem.
