We had a lovely stay in Venice. The area the apartment is situated in - Castello is a non touristy part of the city so it was enjoyable to be amongst locals. It was definitely a highlight have a view of the canal from our bedroom and for the kids, watching the boats go by each day. It was a real shame there was no wifi and it would be lovely if the kitchen was a bit more stocked eg. With olive oil etc. Our meetup with Andrea's colleague was a bit frustrating. We had called him as requested by Andrea but when we arrived at Osperdale he wasn't there, we called again and he hadn't left yet. We then waited another 20 mins for his arrival. While he was friendly we felt he was a bit unprofessional. But the apartment and location was good!
