We took an evening flight from Paris to save some money. Our host had an extra fee for late check in, it kind of bothered me at the beginning. We walked to the boat-bus from the airport. It was a 10 mins walk. We get to the boat stop everything looks closed! it is already kind of dark, but the place had good lighting. We let my older parents to sit with my 14 month baby while my husband and I try to figured out what color route we need to take and get drop on the bridge our host will be waiting for us to show us where the place is.

After a few minutes a boat arrived and we realized it wasn't closed they just take "breaks" when boats are not there ;-). We "talked" to some people, english was not as easy to use as it was in Paris. We knew some very basic phrases in Italian, but I can speak Spanish and that was it.

We were able to communicate with everyone that didn't speak English in Spanish perfectly. We took the boat and 20 mins later we were on the bridge and our host (as part as the late check in) was waiting for us and carried one suitcase for us! Four adults and a baby = extra luggage. We were sooo tired!

To get to the place seemed very far and when we got there we forgot the three floors we need it to climb (with all our luggage), ugh! We made it upstairs and then we remember why we choose the plaice. It was beautiful and super clean. We loved it! I was happy to pay the extra check in fee because I understood everything that involved to check late and she did even more by carrying (especially on the bridges) one of our suitcases.

The following morning we realized that the walked that we did the night before wasn't that bad at all, we were just very tired. The apartment has a great location and it also keeps you a little bit apart from the tourist. You can find everything within 2-5 mins. walking distance. Kitchen is good for basic cooking and everything was very clean everywhere. We tried to leave early and come back late in the evening. The steps were not such a big deal after all. Because the place is only for renting and nobody lives there is missing a few things that we had in our other airbnb like hand soap or salt and pepper, but it wasn't a big deal... we ate mostly out.

We enjoy the place and we would recommend it to our friends and definitely stay there again!
