This apartment is in a great location close to the main bus station and tucked away behind a post office which made sending post cards extra convenient. Be aware you’ll have to climb up and down a few stepped bridges to get here so be mindful of packing heavily cause it’s not the easiest.
The apartment itself was just as pictured and had a very Venetian charm. In terms of cleanliness, the bathroom, kitchen, and living room are well maintained and the washer was a plus.
However, we did raise concern about the possibility (I say “possibility” cause we are not certain) of some bed bugs. My boyfriend slept in shorts the first evening of our stay and noticed some bites on his thighs in the morning. He wore jeans everywhere else as we wandered Venice, and also proceeded to wear sweatpants and socks to sleep during the remainder of our stay and got no other bites after so we believe it was from the bed that first night. Could he have gotten mosquito bites through his jeans while we were out? Maybe possible? But unlikely. Hopefully this can be resolved by spraying down the mattress or steaming it, and adding a full zippered encasement to prevent future issues.
That said, if Pietro can take some preventative future measures on this, it can still be a lovely place to stay. I lucked out and did not get bitten so it was hard for me to report this negative aspect as Pietro was a kind and highly communicative host (through the app as we never actually met in person).
Would I stay here again? Maybe. But my boyfriend probably wouldn’t lol.
