Location-location-location!!
What a wonderful experience! We could not have been happier with the location or the space! It was nice at the end of some pretty crowded days around San Marco square to come “home” a bit more removed from the crowds. Venice was an add on to our trip to Greece, a chance to experience it without the expense of a whole separate trip. We came with no schedule or expectations of things we “had” to do or see. That it happened to be during the Biennale, and this apartment happened to be just a few doors down from the main exhibit hall was the happiest accident of all!! I would plan another trip to Venice to stay at this place just for that. That it was convenient to the water dock, restaurants and grocery store without having to fight crowds or high tide with luggage in tow was yet another bonus!
The apartment itself had all we needed and a great lay out for being able to share the bathroom and kitchen while maintaining some private space. It was also very nice to have a private outdoor space, my reason for choosing this place in the beginning.
Communication with our hosts was reassuring. Rossana is the one who handles check ins. She goes out of her way to provide information on getting there from the airport or train station, including pictures of schedules and maps with lines and arrows! Our flight got diverted to Verona and we wound up spending the night there and taking the train down the next day, so Rossana’s help, flexibility and patience was much appreciated. We were also able to add an extra night at the last minute hassle free ( only possible because she had a buffer day between us and her next guests). Highly recommend!
