Nicola's place was perfect for a weekend stay. The apartment is well located and close to Piazza San Marco, Arsenale, and walking distance from all the main Venice attractions.
A little noisy since it's an old building (we could hear people speaking on the streets and the neighbors super close when sitting in the living room).
The apartment was very clean and had a few extra perks (iron + board, hair dryer, shower gel/soaps, and some rain boots in case of floods).
Slightly overpriced but it was New Year's Eve in Venice so aligned with the rest of the city.
WiFi and heating work well.
Nicola allowed us to check in slightly earlier and check out slightly later, very nice from him!
