My friend and I had a fantastic time in Venice, exploring the city by foot and Vaporetti.....and visiting the Biannale. Marika’s place was in an absolutely brilliant location. It was easy to get to and Davide, who initially met us to hand over the keys, was easygoing, with prompt responses and helpful suggestions. There is a beautiful little courtyard below, with a few restaurants and a bar. There is also a Co-Op about 5 mins walk away. Having the roof terrace was the icing on the cake! It was wonderful to have coffee up there in the morning and a few pre-dinner glasses of Aperol Spritz in the evening, with the sun going down. Blissimo!
There were however a few things that we felt needed to be improved, and which you may want to consider. Such as the bedding situation, which there was not enough of. This left us feeling a bit cold at night. We requested two sets of keys, one of which didn’t work (this wasn’t actually a problem as my friend and I did most things together) and lastly....one of the toilet sisterns would not stop running water. This was only a problem for my friend, who slept in the bedroom next to the toilet. (If you’re sensitive to sound, I suggest you take earplugs).
*As the advertisement says, the garbage disposal arrangement isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find the garbage boats and / or hear the garbage collection, so ended up paying the €10 charge.
Even though this apartment has a few idiosyncrasies.....
We would definitely recommend this property to others! You can’t beat a good location and roof terrace!
