My husband and l stayed in this apartment for 5 nights and loved our experience.
Positives:
- Brilliant location (once we found it in the dark!)- front door is off of a quiet little courtyard near the casino, Strada Nova area and San Marcualo vaperetto stop. Also only 10 minutes from Rialto stop / Rialto Bridge which we preferred as more to see on that route. Central but without St Marco prices! There are plenty of shops and restaurants on your doorstep including a supermarket and a McDonald's!
- Entertainment - Netflix, Wi-Fi and even a book shelf available
- Amenities - tea, coffee, miniature toiletries, disposable slippers etc in apartment. Also has a much required hairdryer for us ladies... Nice touches!
- Temperature - heating was on a timer so was always comfortably cosy
- Fold down bed in Living room- perfect for watching TV before bed
- Excellent communication from host
Negatives:
- No safe for valuables
- Bed is creaky (although quite comfortable aside from the noise)
- Limited space for luggage. We used the dining room as a dressing area.
- No welcome pack. We received this 2 days into holiday with details of night tax, check out details and a map etc. This information would be useful on arrival.
- Daylight is limited - the sunshine doesn't quite meet the apartment as it is ground floor and surrounded by high buildings. There is however ample lighting throughout apartment so it was not a problem.
We would say the positives outweigh the negatives and this apartment is excellent value. We have now recommended to family and friends as a result and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you to Paolo and Illaria for their hospitality!
