As we know Venice quite well, we thought that for us the location was perfect: In the very east, in a quiet, local neighbourhood. The Giardini are literally around the corner; a perfect place from which to visit the Biennale. The apartment is huge, beautiful, and the beds were very comfortable.
It was a bit awkward, however, that Andrea ranted about the guests before us - they didn't put out the trash like they should have, etc. We had just arrived, were tired and Andrea explained the trash system in all detail. On the other hand, he told us where we could buy toilet paper - as there was none in the apartment. And when we checked for our belongings on the last day we found a lot of waste lying beneath the beds (considering that we paid about 70 Euro for the cleaning, I thought this shouldn't happen). Again, he blamed the guests ... So: great apartment, but it could be cleaned better and it would be a nice touch if there were basic items in the kitchen such as tea towels, salt and pepper, cooking oil, etc.
