Pros:
Wonderful view, very magical. Great windows that open onto the canal. And a super location with nearby busy shopping & good cafes.
Very strategic for the ferry, few minutes walk, plus an amazing place for private water taxis to stop right by the apartment. Air conditioner good. Well stocked with plentiful plates, glasses, very useful iron & ironing board. Beds firm and comfortable.
We travel to Italy every year , & had high hopes for this place , and we had looked forward to it the most after a long multi city trip.
Disappointments:
Unfortunately we were not comfortable due to ants in the dining room & paler ones in the bathroom. Of course these things can happen. No idea how long it has been a problem, the floors & rooms are dark so not easily noticeable. However it’s just not what we would expect for a luxury place & price.
We alerted the host as soon as we noticed, she arranged for a cleaner to bring ant killer spray to us. We were spraying and mopping every day. Just not what you want to do on holiday, especially for that price.
The spray deals with the immediate ants, unfortunately there was a nest somewhere so they kept coming back the next day.
So we were not comfortable staying there. As we were flying out of Venice, & had booked 5 days there was no good alternative accommodations available at the last minute.
Whilst it’s a great location, maybe 20 minute walk to St marks square. We would say that for elderly or small children it’s less convenient - children didn’t enjoy the ferry due to extreme heat & having to wear masks.
The only other disappointment was a broken toilet seat in the smaller bathroom.
We thank the host for arranging for our water taxi and confirming the night before. It was very reassuring with an early flight. The view is really spectacular. We loved the water taxi. Venice airport was nice and flawless process.
