It really was a wonderful experience. Andrea arranged for us to check in with his friend Federico earlier than scheduled and the first contact at Ospedale was flawless. Federico was very friendly and professional. The apartment itself is a rental property and not a personal home; is exactly as photos and seems to have been professionally cleaned and prepared for our arrival. Fresh white sheets and towels are extremely important! Bed comfort was moderate. Bathroom had handsoap and was stocked with extra toilet paper. We werent interested in cooking so i didnt thoroughly check the kitchen stock. But from what i saw it was reasonably equipped for cooking at home. I was slightly nervous about noise since the apt is on the first floor but to my surprise, and due to the fact that the apartment is not located in a touristy area, it was extremely quiet! The boats outside the master bedroom window were pleasant to watch in the morning too before heading out! This apt was perfect with regard to location as we were there for the bialennale. However since it was 4 of us, resting and relaxing after a full day of walking was limited to the modest dining room table and chairs since there is no lounging/living room space. This can actually be a positive though as it forces one to go out and explore. However since we were partially dead from walking all day but not quite ready to sleep after dinner, I found this to be my only tiny drawback. Checkout was a breeze as we just left the keys in the apartment and closed the doors behind us. There may have been a slight misunderstanding about this though, but Andrea was super cool and said all was fine via email later that day. All in all the apartment was worth is amazing price and I definately recommend it based on the big plusses of: location for biennale; location away from tourists; cleanliness; and cost. Thank you Andrea!
