Pros : The apartment was a perfect way to really immerse myself in local living.
Great location - Walkable to everything.
Loved watching the gondalas go by from the windows!
The host was very helpful with local advice - finding specific places, high tide warnings, etc.
Cons: The check in was a little bumpy due to lack of communication.
If you're a light sleeper, it may not be the right place - upstairs neighbor snores like a pig, and boats early in the am with shipments.
Random people hang out just outside the door by the canal to smoke, drink, etc. (And leaving garbage everywhere). Being a solo traveler, it made me a little nervous.
