Andrea's apartment is very nicely decorated and comfortable, and the location is conveniently central, making it easy to walk everywhere, including an excellent bakery a 5-minute walk away, where I ran to buy morning croissants at 7:30 every morning. We were grateful for the washing machine!
The main room (combination living/bedroom) has two windows looking out on the junction of two canals, which provides fantastic people/boat watching. The gondoliers' heads float right in front of the windows, which was fun.
Important to know:
- The power boats that provide the logistical support for the city (deliveries, trash, etc.) go right under the windows throughout the night, revving their engines to navigate the turn from one canal into the other right. It's not constant noise, but it's noticeable, especially in very early morning hours.
- The occupancy tax in Venice has increased, and the current amount (€4/person/night) wasn't updated on the apartment's listing.
