GETTING THERE - I arrived at the Venice International Airport. I then purchased Alilaguna tickets (counter outside of the baggage claim area. Tickets also available by the boat docks.) for the boat taxi to a direct trip to the Rialto taxi stop (this is stop is next to the famous Rialto bridge). Once you get off the boat, it will take you 10mins to walk to the apartment. Remember, Venice does not have standard roads with signs...the "roads" that show up on google maps are actually alley ways. HOST - Edoardo has an assistant that helps him with apartment guests. The communication with the assistant was OK but we needed to wait 20-30mins as she was assisting other guests check-in at other apartments (after a long flight to Italy, waiting was certainly a pain). APARTMENT BUILDING - The apartment is on the third floor and will require that you climb up three full flight of stairs. Will be a bit of a challenge with luggage (no lift available). APARTMENT LOCATION - It is perfectly located near the Rialto bridge/main canal and the San Marco Plaza (both are 5-10mins away). TV - The television did not work in the apartment. AIR CONDITIONER - The air consider discharges water in big water retainer. You will need to empty it every day (a bit of a pain). NOISE - Construction is occurring in the building next door and they start working at 8am. If you like to sleep in, this will be a problem as you can hear all the construction noise. SHOWER - If you are wide person, this apartment will not work for you! The apartment has a very tiny shower with barely enough room to move around (approximately 24 inches by 24 inches). WIFI - The internet speed was good which allowed us to watch movies on Netflix and communicate with family back home. OTHER INFO - Make sure to visit the Burano island (will need to take a boat taxi (30min ride)) as this island has some colorful building, is very peaceful, has a lot of shops and restaurants and also consider gong to the Lido island to take advantage of the beaches. Overall, not a bad place...the best thing about this apartment is the location.
