As it was my first time to Venice, I appreciated Andrea's coming to meet me at the Rialto stop to walk me to the space. It allowed me to get my bearings and he gave me several tips (like signs to look for) in order to remember how to get back-which came in handy several times!
The front door is tricky to unlock, which he explained to me upon arrival and let me try it myself. I felt comfortable with it after a few days on my own and it didn't give me any trouble the rest of my trip.
Since I was traveling in February, I was wary of the heat situation, but the two heaters were more than enough. Pro tip: Keep the sliding wooden door closed at night and you can shut off the second heater in the living room and stay warm comfortably.
Another pro tip: Be sure to download all of Andrea's documents (or print them) in advance. They include super helpful tips and important detail (like the wifi) that you wouldn't want to be caught without!
