Martina was very nice, meeting us at the Vaporetti stop and taking us to the apartment, answering any of our questions and helping to book a water taxi on the day of our departure. She is a kind and welcoming host.
The apartment is accurate to the listing. The windows opening over the canal where gondolas are frequent is beautiful, as long as you don’t mind the music (we didn’t).
Everything in the apartment was very clean.
Be aware that while the apartment does have an a/c as advertised, it is small and insufficient for the entire apartment. As the a/c unit is located in the main (living/kitchen) area, the bedroom stays warm/hot no matter what you do (we were there in July). We ended up sleeping in the living room area and closing all of the available doors in an effort to keep at least one area cool.
I lived in Europe for 7 years, and traveled in that time as well, so I am aware of the difference between the U.S. concept of a/c and the European one, but since this apartment is listed as “with a/c,” I feel that it is a bit of a stretch.
The mattress needs replacing. It was clean, but just worn out.
