We were not met off the boat as promised, so I texted Andrea's assistant who was supposed to meet us. He was delayed at work and said the cleaner would meet us an hour later and let us in. This was a bit inconvenient and mildly annoying and not very professional. So the apartment was not clean when we arrived with the cleaner. She then cleaned and we went out to the supermarket. The apartment is in very quiet dead end street and well placed to make an easy entrance and exit into Venice from the airport on the vaporetto from the Hospedale stop. The air was quite damp as the apartment is on the ground floor near the water and the front bedroom facing the canal was much noisier (with boat traffic and water taxis-but that's a nicer noise than cars) than the back room which was really quiet, dark and restful. The apartment is not very cosy and a bit spartan and empty but if you just want to sleep and have a quick breakfast then it's fine. It was obviously a one bedroom flat but what was the 'living room' is now a bedroom so there's nowhere to chill after a hard days walking except your bed. The bathroom is long and thin, the shower good but if you've got long legs your knees will do battle with the wall when sitting on the toilet.
Thankfully there's a kettle for us English folk but no decent mugs for a good sized cuppa in the morning. In summary - a great quiet backwater location, convenient for the airport, basic but functional.
