Loved Venice! Loved this place it was off the main traffic area. The building is so quiet. Were up on 4th floor. Paolo is very nice and helpful! Everything is brick, so it's very quiet. You will hear some foot traffic in am and church bells if you're a light sleeper. You do have to climb stairs, it's not to bad because the aren't steep. It really has everything you need inside. We used kitchen while we stayed here. A store is near by down Main Street on your right. We also did wash while we were there. A little confusing because we didn't know what the settings were because it's in Italian. There is a clothing line outside the bedroom window but the pulley didn't work, wheel broken. So we ended up stringing a wash line in the apartment. We found one in the top draw aside of fridge. We did find it was mosquito season in September. Not sure when it starts or ends. Just our experience. We left the windows open first 2 days and nights (no screens in Italy). I had so many bites from the mosquito after 2 night. Probably a bad idea to leave windows open. I am as white as white can be from the east coast USA. I had 15 from elbow to hand on both arms. I didn't count my face, ears, neck or rest of my arm. Just be aware. Pharmacy down the Main Street also. Shower pressure and hot water was great, no problems. The only issue we had was stove was clicking on second night there. There was no gas coming out but ignitor kept igniting. We notified Paolo he looked at it immediately and explained it had something to do with the storm and moisture. Third night the clicking increased, we just flipped the circuit breaker off. Paolo lives on first floor of building so he literally came so quickly. There is a main apartment with living room 2 love seats, a chair and small tv. A bedroom with one night stand and portable open closet just to hang stuff. There are no dressers or draws to put your stuff in. So we hung some stuff and brought 2 chairs from kitchen table in to just lay stuff on. The bathroom is next to bedroom. There is a second floor that has another bed if need more space. We didn't use. There is heat and air conditioning, we didn't use either. Includes stove, full fridge and freezer, toaster oven, dishwasher and washer. There was an iron and hair dryer. He also supplied extra toilet paper and paper towels. We really enjoyed our stay here. We understood the stove thing was a fluke. We will be back!! Highly recommend!!
