When we arrived, Giorgia's friend Manuela let us into the apartment and gave us all the necessary information. The apartment has almost everything that one needs for a short stay. The apartment is clean and well-kept, and cleaners come in once a week to change the linens and towels, as well as cleaning the flat. The apartment is well-situated, five minute's walk to the train station and major vaporetti routes. There is a grocery store about 15 minutes from the apartment. Despite its closeness to the station, and the great crowds of tourists there, the apartment is wonderfully peaceful on a small canal. Because we were there in October, the mornings and evenings could get quite cool, but the apartment house's heating was not available. Giorgia should add a few items to the apartment, such as an electric kettle, laundry detergent, and more toilet paper. The apartment instructions include a warning that any garbage left can lead to a fine of at least 170 euros, which we feel is unwarranted, especially since there is not a daily schedule of pick-up for some kinds of garbage.
