Pros:
1) Nice garden in front of the apartment and the balcony
2) Good location to get there from airport (I suggest you take water bus from airport to Orto station - it is very close from there, otherwise if you take the bus, you will have to go a long way through several bridges with your bags)
Cons:
1) main problem - the apartment is very hot, even at night with open windows, so I had some terrible sleep there. There were no remote for air conditioner (AC) in the apartment. When I asked for it for the first time, Massimo just ignored it. Next time he brought it to me, but it was universal one, so I had to configure it myself. After that, we found that AC doesn’t cool the air, just acts like a fan. It’s probably because coolant need to be changed. And it was end of May - I hope he would take care of that, otherwise new visitors will suffer from heat.
2) Apartment is poorly equipped with kitchen utensils - there is no frying pan, no matching lids for the pots, no salt or pepper. No kitchen towels. Massimo brought us a kettle, after we asked him, though.
3) the floor was a bit dirty
4) mosquitoes are an issue. Massimo brought us a fumigator, but it didn’t help much.
5) apartment is not well-maintained: toilet flush works with problems, bathroom door doesn’t close (only with lock), shower drain doesn’t work good, etc.
6) smelly bathroom towels - seems like they are washed on low temperature
