The space looks mostly as pictured. It seems they rearranged the bedroom slightly, which led to the side tables not fitting. But there are light switches and lamps on each side of the bed that were very nice when getting ready for bed. The space was a 5 minute walk to a vaparetto stop, which is extremely convenient! There was plenty of space in the living/dining area, we just never used it.
My only issue with this place was the fact that we were responsible for taking the trash out on check-out day. Normally I don’t mind tidying up regardless, but there is a 40euro fine from the host if you don’t take it out. The drop off locations aren’t easy to find based on the map provided because there’s no street info to go off of or relevance to the apartment location. Not to mention the cleaning fees charges initially with the reservation were already equal to a one night stay.
The location and canal view are the main reasons to book this place. Walking distances: 5 minutes to the vaparetto stop. 7 minutes to Rialto bridge. 15 minutes to San Marco.
Two main tips for Venice: (1) ride the vaparetto #1 from the first stop all the way around. 75 minutes, but you ride through the entire Grand Canal and see so many of the sights in one ride. (2) instead of paying 80euro for a gondola ride, take a gondola traghetto/ferry. It’s 2euros and you get the same experience.
