The apartment is situated in a new building, bordering other 3-4 semidetached apartments.
The area is nice and quiet. A bit far from the main attractions (30 min. walk to San Marco if you don’t get lost in the maze of the picturesque narrow Venetian streets), which could be a problem for smaller kids. Nothing else wakes you up, but the church bells. Plenty of good restaurants, serving different types of good food at descent price. Jewish quarter, which is worth visit is at the other side of the canal.
The apartment itself is as described. Ground floor - air-conditioned living room (sofa bed)+kitchen and a bigger bathroom.
First floor – one air-conditioned bedroom (double bed) + one smaller bedroom (bunk beds) with fan only + smaller bathroom.
Having air-condition was lifesaving during the extremely hot days we spent in Italy.
The linen and the towels were bright white and clean. Rooms were OK, but the bathrooms could be in a better shape. The bathroom at the ground floor had unpleasant smell, so we even took some detergent to clean the shower cabin.
First night experience – a cockroach came out of the foot towel while I was placing it on the floor in the small bathroom. On the next morning a similar bug was wandering the sheets of the sofa bed.
Both air conditioners operate with one remote control. Inconvenient, especially during the night, going up and down the stairs to find the remote control.
Francesca, who runs the apartment was timely responsive to our questions. She came to meet us at the near by hotel, as we got difficulties finding the property. City map and some useful tips were provided by Francesca upon arrival. Yet it would be more convenient for us if she had brought the second pair of keys, as she committed to.
