The apartment was really nice. Has everything you need to cook. The location on that particular island is great, but is not good if you want to see the main attractions of Venice. Its 5-7 minute walk to food, 2 minute walk to a grocery store. If you want to get to the main island from the apartment it will cost 9.50 euros per person one way or 25 euros for a daily pass. It will also cost the same just to get to the apartment when you arrive in Venice. And it will cost you another 35 euros if your any amount of time late for the two hour windows they give you to check in. I was 10 minutes late and had to pay. I would understand had someone been waiting on me at the apartment but they request you text them when you get on the water taxi so they can meet you so they are not waiting on you. And they knew months in advance I would be cutting it close because of my train arrival time. This place is beautiful but has no ac. To cool the apartment you will need to open the windows, which causes a mosquito problem, they swamp the apartment. We went to buy mosquito defusers the second night as there was none provided. However the damage was already done. The host offered to bring me some defusers the next day but my daughter could not wait another night, she was eat up with bites really bad. Luckily there is a store 2 minutes away. We all ended up using mosquito repellant at bed time along with the defusers and that seem to help somewhat, while we slept with the windows open all night. It’s noisy early in the morning from the grocery store delivery boat and the garbage collection boat but at night is mostly quite. If I had it to do over I would have stayed on the main island and probably paid a little more but would have saved money due to the fact of not having to pay a water taxi. Don’t let the beauty of the apartment trap you if your on a budget. Family of 4 spent 100 euros daily just to travel to and from the apartment to the main island. If you stay on the main island there would really be no reason to get a water taxi because you could walk all of it.
