Great location. I communicated with Adriana by WhatsApp easily. She met me at the vaparetto stop and led me to the easy to find apt. It was a comfortable space for me and my husband. Simply but tastefully decorated with a couple of nice Asian pieces. We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks on the roof terrace. We were travelling in mid-Oct and hit Venice at the perfect time temperature-wise for not needing air-conditioning or heat, and not needing to open windows. There were still some biting insects on the roof, but not too bad. The one flight of stairs was not a problem for us as we are mobile and packed lightly. I did have trouble with the keys at first, but quickly figured out the trick—make sure they are facing right side up because they will still slot in upside down making you think you’ve got it in the right way.
Adriana was great, showing me how everything works in the unit, and she led me to to the supermarket as she was heading out in that direction. It was very helpful to have that quick orientation. She provided a bottle of Spumante for my birthday, and a big bottle of water for us (that we didn’t use because we just used tap water in our re-usable bottles). There were much appreciated kitchen basics like olive oil, coffee, salt and sugar.
