A great apartment in a great location. Further out of the city than the hussle and bustle allowing us the opportunity to see the 'real' Venice as well as the tourist side.
Upsides; clean, great location, great hosts with good recommendations, complimentary bottle of wine on arrival is a lovely touch!
Downsides; oven doesn't work (told on arrival), Wifi poor, shower pressure not great, woken by building work early Friday morning, and no option to leave luggage at the location after check out. (An option to leave it at a hotel was taken up on but meant a 40min walk dragging heavy cases the other side of the city up and over bridges- hardly ideal when the apartment is so close to a ferry stop for getting back!)
In general the apartment was well kitted out- but think it would benefit from having an iron and hairdryer. Small things but less to carry!
As a side note to other travellers, we really struggled to a) navigate the water boats/buses, b) be armed with cash/tickets as many 'terminals' don't have ticket points and c) don't try and get on a ferry at peak times near where you leave your case.. 2 passed us as full and we had to scramble to get a taxi which luckily we were able to share with other travellers! Leave plenty of time!
