It is a really quiet, secure property in an excellent location. Showers had decent water pressure and bathrooms modern. Ideal for us (couple & teenager) as plenty privacy with having 2-beds/2-bathrooms. Lovely outlook from one bedroom over small canal/trees in garden. Liked that mosquito plugs were supplied in bedroom and shower gel and shampoo was provided as our luggage was missing for whole of our holiday and these little things made all the difference. Chiara also quickly sorted a boiler issue when the hot water went off, which was much appreciated.
Our favourite thing was the great advice from Chiara prior to arriving and we used all of her tips to get the most from our stay. Please take her advice about restaurants; our favourite meals were all on Chiara’s list! Best gelato is 5 mins walk away, Il Doge (€2 a scoop, friendly staff, AMAZING QUALITY, not to be missed).
Shutters in one bedroom were easy to use and helped with quality of sleep for our daughter but the other room didn’t have thick curtains on the high bedroom windows, which may disturb light sleepers. (We just wore eye visors when the sun came up at 5:30/6am and went back to sleep). Anyone worried about privacy may also feel anxious that lack of curtains could mean people seeing into the bedroom from neighbouring property but this is a minor issue.m as the windows are so high.
If I had to be critical, the only thing I would say is that the cutlery & plates are a little dated but they were still perfectly functional. The wooden chairs/sofa in the lounge weren’t the most comfortable but if you’re visiting Venice, you’re probably not likely to be spending many hours indoors.
In summary: Chiara is a fantastic host; it’s like having your own personal tourist guide! The apartment is quiet and well placed for access to everything. A few minor upgrades of kitchen items and seating would elevate it further.
