I spent 13 nights at Edoardo’s apartment in Castello to write my new book “Now Be Happier.” This apartment met ALL of my needs for this work trip for the following reasons. 1. Location is excellent. I was writing 6-8 hours per day and walking 4-6 hours per day to relax and enjoy Venice’s many sites that are nearby, as well as alleyways and bridges. To get to the apartment, I took the Alilaguna blue line from the airport to Arsenale and I had to cross only bridge which had a ramp convenient for my luggage wheels. I bought most my food from a grocery store 50 meters from the door. 2. The kitchen had all the pots, pans, dishes and silverware I needed. It has a microwave, toaster and coffee maker. The frig is a bit small but adequate if you buy food every day or two. 3. The mattress was comfortable and the closets were plenty big. 4. The bathroom is gorgeous and spacious for Venice. Great rainhead shower with movable wand. 5. I did 3 loads of washing in the washing machine in 13 days. A drying rack was available. This met my needs well. 6. The heating worked well though I didn’t need it much because it wasn’t very cold. 7. The responsiveness of Edoardo and Alessandra was excellent and fast. In particular, when I told Edoardo that I needed a comfortable chair for typing 6-8 hours per day, he brought a “Markus chair” that is an ergonomic executive office chair. It was perfect for my work. Overall, this was a very productive work visit for me and Edoardo’s apartment and service by Venice Neighbours was EXACTLY what I needed to write my book “Now Be Happier” and enjoy Venice.
