Paolo and Giorgia were wonderful hosts who made our first visit to Venice fabulous and memorable!
The place itself is near the Ospedale, which in our opinion is the perfect spot as it is in a quiet neighborhood, away from the crowds. Yet, all of the sights were within walking distance.
Giorgia met us as soon as we got off the Alilaguna and walked us over to the apartment. She was also very quick to reply via WhatsApp when we had a few extra questions after check in. She even sent us information on some of the Carnivale events going on!
The apartment has a kitchen area, that includes a great small fridge, cups, plates, knives, etc. The bedroom was spacious and the bed itself quite comfortable. Yes, the shower itself is small, but unless you’re looking for a luxe bathroom experience, this works fine.
One of the best parts was the washer in the bottom floor. If you’re like us, and are traveling to other places before/after Venice, the washer was free and a lifesaver! Google helped us figure out what was what, but I’m sure Giorgia would also be happy to help if asked. No dryer (which is common here), so we hung our laundry around. Just keep that in mind in case you’re planning to do laundry at the last minute.
Paolo did a wonderful job before and during our stay, answering all questions promptly and with kindness. I only regret not being able to meet him, too!
The only note I have is the WiFi kept dipping in and out, but I feel like that could be normal in Venice? For reference, my husband had a Verizon phone with Travel Pass, and I had an Orange Holiday SIM in mine.
All in all a wonderful stay. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you Paolo and Giorgia! We hope to visit again someday soon!
