Bigger than the photos - super clean and comfortable. Gian met us at the water taxi stand, the first time winding through the streets is a bit confusing and it was great to have him there. The apartment is right on the canal. Comfy beds, the one bedroom overlooking the garden is very quiet-the other directly over the canal was a little noisy if you’re a light sleeper (only noisy from about 6-8am). The neighborhood turned out to be what our tour guides called the most “authentic” of the neighborhoods-great food, beautiful canals, about 15min walk to the super touristy areas (St Marks etc). Steps away from local markets, restaurants, and even an a awesome Irish Pub!
One thing-the city of Venice has very specific rules about trash. Listen closely when Gian is telling you how it works! There is someone who rings your doorbell everyday to retrieve certain types of waste, and if you miss him, you’re required to bring your garbage to a special receptacle in a nearby square. Highly recommend this spot, it will make your trip to Venice comfortable, easy and authentic.
