This was not the most pleasant experience.

Alessandro was very nice and punctual, until there was a problem. He gave us clear directions from the train and met us at the boat station near the place when we arrived. He helped us get to the apartment and gave us a handful of tips on where to visit and where to eat. He showed us around the apartment and how everything worked before leaving, which was nice.

The problem came with the "shower". Just a heads up, there is no shower really, just a bath tub with a shower head you can pull out of the side to hold if you want. The actual problem though was that the hot water didn't work - it would be warm for about 20 seconds then go freezing cold for 5 minutes, then the process would repeat. I contacted Alessandro about it and he came over 30 minutes later. He was very unpleasant. He spent 5 seconds with his hand under the water and said it was warm so everything was fine (of course, it would have gone cold if he checked for 15 seconds longer as I told him, but he refused). He then proceeded to blame me for any issues saying that I was messing with things somehow, which was very off-putting. He also patronizingly showed me how turning the faucet right was hot, and left was cold, like I was a simpleton standing in the bathroom turning it back and forth wondering why it was getting hot and cold. His whole visit lasted about 45 seconds before he pretty much walked out as I was saying that the problem is still an issue. After that, we didn't contact him again, we just took very quick showers and bit the bullet.

This was very frustrating and sort of soiled the beginning of our first trip to Venice a bit, but we just tried to ignore it.

Besides that whole drama, the place was in an OK location and seemed to function otherwise.

We would stay somewhere else if we were to visit Venice again.
