Nina was very welcoming and friendly. She happily collected us from the water-bus stop and made our way to the apartment. The 6 flights of stairs seemed doable and don't leave you too out of breath. The apartment is simple and clean, but the view from above is splendid. Making the 6 flights of stairs all the more worthwhile.
The sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable, but there is space for a queen sized bed and mini sofa to be added (as a suggestion).
The shower has a very large wooden beam running through it, which is expected from a beautiful Venice property. Although, if you are taller than 5'8 you won't fit in this shower (unless you sit). The beam makes it difficult even for me (5'4) to wash my hair due to banging your arms on the beam. The shower also doesn't have a door or curtain which does spray water around the room. The apartment did lack simple amenities such as bathroom soap and shower gel, but Nina made up for it with the kitchen supplies of coffee, and oils.
The apartment Wi-fi did lack and only worked for an hour on my mobile during the whole 3 day trip, which made it difficult planning tourist attractions and maps for the next day.
The apartment was perfect location, with bakeries, supermarkets and of course the Venice sites only a few minutes walk away.
Amazing trip.
