We had a wonderful stay at Claudia’s place. It was very well situated and accessible by foot and boat which was very cool. You can see the gondoliers roaming the canal right outside your window.
The apartment is very well equipped and had plenty of the necessaries including towels and toilet paper. She also provides coffee for her nespresso machine which is always a bonus. The bed is to die for and the bedroom can be darkened significantly with the outdoor shutters if you are jet lagged and need to sleep in. There are lots of dishes and cooking tools and all the appliances worked very well. It takes a minute or two for the hot water to warm up but once going there is lots of it.
The neighbourhood is picturesque and lovely and has lots of local eating and drinking options of all kinds as well as bakeries, coffee shops and a well equipped grocery store. At the same time, it’s a quiet little place and even during Carnival, there is very little noise to disturb you. Highly recommend.
