Guiliana was very helpful with her quick responses as well as guiding us with the best and easiest ways to plan our trip in and around Venice especially with the way in which to use the public transport. She was always available in case we needed anything.
Her apartment was spotless when we arrived and had all the basic amenities and more. Fresh towels and soap were provided as well as biscuits and jam for us to snack on. The rooms, bathrooms and living room were quite spacious.
One of the things we had an issue with were the very steep flight of stairs we had to go up to enter the apartment. This was a little inconvenient considering that it was the last leg of our trip to Italy and our baggage was quite large. There is also no elevator in the building.
Another issue was the AC. There was only one in the hall, and we were expecting one in each room. We were told to leave the doors of our rooms open in order for the rooms to cool down. This was a little inconvenient considering how hot Venice can get and also because the apartment was quite large with open spaces. The room on the second floor of the apartment was the only room that had an AC in it.
Although later on Guiliana did explain that a lot of the buildings around the area were quite old (which is why there is no elevator) and will most probably not be able to supply large amounts of electricity so keeping too many ACs in the house is not very economical.
The apartment is large, good enough for seven people and also very child friendly. The location is quite good as it is a 2 minute walk from a water bus station and also some of the main attractions. Restaurants and cafés are available at walking distance.
