It was a lovely apartment ideally situated near Venice’s most famous attractions. Check-in was flawless. Carlos was at the apartment to meet us. He gave us the grand tour explaining the intricacies of the apartment’s heating and air conditioning systems. He also told us where we could find the late-night
grocery store and pharmacy oriented us to the Academia, Rialto, and San Marco Piazza. He was the consummate host. However, the best bit about staying at the “House of Notes” was the sounds of classical music and opera heard each evening from the Conservatory of Music located just opposite the apartment building on a small campo. Hence, the name of the Airbnb ‘House of Notes.’
