We had a great time staying at Orsola's apartment. There were four of us, two adults and two children (11 and 15).
Orsola was very responsive to questions we had prior to our arrival and gave us a good introduction to the house upon check-in.
The apartment is laid out across two floors, at the top of a three story building, so stairs will feature in your stay. That was no problem for us, but is worth noting.
The first floor of the apartment is just the kitchen, and what a lovely kitchen it is. We did some significant self-catering and the kitchen was extremely well appointed. We found cooking in it to be very easy. There's a small table with four chairs in the kitchen that we ate on. It was a little cramped so for larger meals we ate out on one of the terraces (more on that later), but the small table was fine for breakfast. There's a washing machine for laundry, which was also useful to us and our stay. There's also a supermarket right around the corner, which was a big bonus for us.
From the kitchen you walk up a flight of steps to the other rooms: a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room that we used as a bedroom, and two terraces.
The main bedroom is very nice, with lots of closeting and a heatpump unit that provides absolutely life-saving air conditioning in the hot Venetian summer.
The bathroom is also well-appointed and very functional.
The sofa in the living room converts to two single beds via trundle, which is where our girls slept. We just left the bed out during our stay and used that room as another bedroom. It also has a heat pump unit that works independently from the one in the master bedrom.
The living room has a door out to the larger of the two terraces. There is a basic garden table and chairs out on it. We used this space for larger meals and as our hangout space in the evening. It has a nice sunset view over the rooftops of Venice, very romantic.
The second terrace, accessed from the hallway, is smaller and houses the outdoor heat pump units, which make noise if the heat pumps are going. We didn't make use of this space socially, but it was an excellent area to dry clothes on the clothes rack, so it was useful to us nonetheless.
It's a lovely apartment and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to friends and family traveling to Venice.
Thanks Orsola!
