Location. The Alberto’s apartment has an excellent location, it’s really convenient to be 2 min walk to vaporetto. The traffic connection is absolutely handy, the better might be only on S. Zaccharia, especially if you commute as I did, leaving every morning at 8 by the bell tolling and catching a vaporetto exactly at 8:05. 3 min walk to Biennale d’Arte is also beneficial if you are interested in the Biennale, the apartment on the first floor is actually called Ca’Giardini and on the second Ca’Biennale.
Caliber. The apartment is tiny, the tiniest I’ve ever stayed in Venice. I’ve misestimated it in the photos. I would say it’s good for a couple staying for some days. As for me I failed to find the right place for my books, papers, laptop and so on, they piled higgledy-piggledy against each other on the floor, around the sofa, on the sofa, on the cupboard as there is only one table in the apartment, and it is actually the kitchen table.
Content. The bathroom is fully equipped, NO PROBLEMS with hot water, heater or water supply system which is rare in Venice. The gas cooker is beyond praise of my daughter, speedy. The fridge is a domestic disaster, it’s a mini bar, not a fridge. How I managed 3 weeks without a fridge and a freezer I don’t know. I believe this is the first thing Alberto and Catherina will improve in the apartment, install the normal fridge as there is a place for it in the kitchen.
Wi-fi performed quite good, just three disconnections for 3 weeks but as usual unexpected and not in time.
Hospitality. The hosts Alberto and Catherina were very friendly, always accessible per phone or Whats App. We didn’t hear the guests upstairs, may be occasionally as they climbed up the stairs. The neighborhood doesn’t wake up early, I was the earliest bird, but I can’t share the opinion that it’s quiet and calm around, with two restaurants just at the corner and rooms to rent in the yard it simply can’t be quiet.
