First off...if you are new to the area, you will need Google Maps to find your way to the apartment. We finally arrived at the Alilaguna water bus stop a little after 10pm. After some confusion, we found the apartment...about a ten minute walk with three pedestrian bridges along the way. Keep this in mind if you have large bags. Lucia was very responsive over Whatsapp and she unlocked the door when we arrived. The apartment is clean and comfortable although calling the view from the balcony a canal view is a stretch as you need to literally stretch to see it! It was a little muggy and even though there is AC, we had to use the fan. And for the record...San Marco is an 8 minute walk! Trash is a big deal in Europe and Venice is no different. There are in depth instructions on how to separate and dispose of your trash...not included in your fees! Btw...you must take the trash to a barge located nearby. And not all waste is accepted on the same day. When we read these instruction, we made a point of avoiding the accumulation of any trash which was something of an inconvenience! After the taxes were added, I found this apartment to be overpriced.
