First, the good news. The apartment was nice and big with a bathtub. It was nice to have the second bedroom to lay out our clothes. It was very clean with a comfortable bed. The kitchen was a nice size too. The air conditioning worked great. The not so good news. I thought the check in process was way more complicated than it needed to be. I was never sure if I should be communicating with Aglaia, Irene, Chiara or Giulia. The apartment is run by a third party service, which makes check-in a bit of a run around. We didn't have to wait long, but there were a lot of back and forth emails with way too many instructions. Our greeter, Giulia, manages many apartments. She told us we had to figure out which key went to which gate. A bit annoying. The apartment has a view of the canal but also a news stand which is covered with graffiti which is pretty ugly. Our first morning there we looked out the window and there was garbage everywhere. The apartment is near some bars and people party pretty late. We didn't hear them, but they left a big mess. Also, the apartment is not located very close to St. Mark's square. If you don't mind doing a LOT of walking it's fine. Finally, we used the water taxi service recommended in the binder to take us to the airport. The binder does not mention that taxies cannot pull up in front of the apartment before 8:00 am because they can be fined. We had to walk to another dock to catch our boat with a lot of luggage. This was really frustrating because the binder does not mention this nor did the taxi service say they couldn't pick us up in front of the building. We would not stay in this apartment again because of the location, the view and the overly complicated check-in process.
