Overall, my mum and I were a little bit disappointed with our stay. We found the apartment to be quite dated and a bit uncomfortable. The mattress was so lumpy and the bed had ants all around the bottom. When we moved the bed a bit to find the ants’ entrance, we also found clumps of dust. Although, Giovanna explained that ants are common in Venice and was very helpful; quickly bringing ant powder. We also found that every plug socket came off the wall when we used it. Despite this, the apartment was an ideal location- away from the hustle and bustle tourist areas, but close enough to walk there with ease. The living area was nice and a bright space to sit (when it was high tide this was necessary!). Giovanna and Mario also checked on us during the bad weather which was really appreciated. Very attentive hosts and spacious living however we would prefer to compromise the space for better comfort.
