If you want to live in the heart of Venice then Cristian’s place is a good choice, it was no more than 10 min walk to Rialto bridge and the Grand Canal, meaning you can beat the crowds if you’re an early riser. Be aware that the alleys get very dark and quiet at night (even at 7.30pm!) so head back early if that bothers you. The apartment is 3 storeys, and relatively spacious. I think my only let down was the bathroom as the shower is small and water pressure is quite weak. When I messaged him about it, Cristian explained that it is due to the age of the property. Small tip - don’t bring the shower head down from the holder before you turn on the water, it won’t work! But Cristian’s responses were very very speedy, at any time that I messaged him which I appreciated. The apartment is also true to photos. I also really appreciated having an air con unit in the bedroom - lifesaver. Overall good stay, thanks!
