Anastasia’s apartment was more delightful than we even imagined. To watch the passing gondolas and boats out the windows inches away is truly unique . We only wished there were screens so that we could have kept the shutters and windows open in evenings. (If you’ve got kids or yourselves are sensitive sleepers, tho—it could be a little noisy). But A/C was great. The apartment was well equipped (charming kitchen) and delightfully furnished. One caution: the bathroom is tiny. Not surprising for where you are, but if you’re any larger than “average” size, it’s quite a squeeze. We also loved the quiet, friendly, everyday neighborhood— ancient stones, cascading green, tiny alleys plus convenient shops, cafes and fantastic restaurants. Arrival was a little difficult—in part on us (our research on navigating in a wheelchair was imperfect), but our host seemed to have a limited time window, tho we had warned that parking and leaving luggage on the mainland, and the wheelchair factor, made our ETA unpredictable. We had some trouble understanding each other and she didn’t know —or was too distracted —to tell us basic info (on the public boat we needed). Finding the apartment is a challenge, even with GPS and photos! But that’s Venice — and so worth it for the location! It all worked out. And Anastasia was generously flexible —let us leave luggage for extra hours the last day —great help. We’ll be back soon, we hope!
