Giorgio’s place is beautifully and tastefully decorated and located in the heart of Venice. Easy walking distance to all the attractions, near a supermarket and tons of restaurants.
1. The water taxi stop is near the Realito bridge. You will have to carry your bags over one bridge but possibly two depending on your water taxi stop.
The lift does not go to the floor of the apartment. You still have to carry you bags up a flight of about 6 stairs.
2. It has a full kitchen: microwave, washer/ dryer, toaster, kettle but the following were not provided: cooking oil, bath soap or body wash, paper towels.
The apartment is very modern. One ensuite bathroom and hall bathroom. The rear bedroom looks out over a canal. It is off a busy thoroughfare but very quiet inside.
3. Host communication was poor. Question about directions and leaving bags not addressed for several days until the day of check-in. No follow up from host about the television not working, even though this was identified at check in and followed up on.
4. Contract was presented in Italian and host explained it but no English copy was presented and no copy of contract given.
Overall we loved this apartment and hope the host will address the concerns as this would make this an excellent listing.
