We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It's cute, well-designed and gets great light. They were helpful in helping us with an unusual arrival time. Our host was super-friendly, and kindly gave us suggestions for places to visit, restaurants, and a grocery store nearby. The walk to Piazza San Marco and other sights to the west was a bit farther than we expected (Google Maps was off by about 25%). The Arsenale vaporetto stop is close; we probably should have used the vaporettos more. Time saving tip: if you take the Ailaguna Blue Line from the airport, consider walking from the Ospedale stop if you don't have too much luggage. It's a longer walk than from Arsenale stop, but it saves you a bunch of other stops in between on a slow boat. Also, on the Blue Line return, you can buy your ticket ON the boat (in cash) if needed. It's a bit higher-priced, but convenient vs. pre-buying a ticket, as there are no machines at the stop (weird). Location is a good balance if you're going to Bienale at Arsenale or Jardins. As advertised, the apartment has no A/C. Since it was hot for our visit, we kept windows open, but then there were mosquitoes. Bring repellent. In spite of open windows, it was pretty quiet. We recommend it given the price.
