I stayed in this apartment two years ago for the last Venice Biennale and it was fantastic, which is why I booked it again this year. Unfortunately, there is major construction going on in the flat below at the moment, and we were awakened each morning to very loud jackhammering, which lasted pretty much all day. We needed to do some work during the day, and it was a major inconvenience to not be able to use the flat during the day because of the noise. I understand that there's nothing to be done about construction in a neighboring flat, but I do wish that we'd been advised ahead of time, as we would have made alternate plans. I'd suggest suspending vacation rentals until the bulk of the construction has ended. I can't imagine if I'd gone with a small child who needed a nap during the day, or if one of us hadn't been feeling well and needed to rest. The noise of the jackhammering was truly unbearable and we couldn't be in the apartment while it was going on.
