La posizione è ottima per visitare la Biennale e, più in generale, molto comoda, vicinissima ai Giardini e inserita in una zona caratteristica. Si tratta di un appartamento al terzo piano di una casa a schiera, con interni e arredi datati, ma caratterizzato da spazi ampi e da un bel terrazzino. Il vano scale comune di accesso all’appartamento è un po’ datato e necessiterebbe di un intervento di ripristino, ma questo aspetto è in parte compensato dalla qualità della posizione e dalle potenzialità dell’immobile. Nel complesso, si tratta di una soluzione interessante, soprattutto per chi privilegia la vicinanza ai principali luoghi di interesse e apprezza il fascino di un contesto veneziano autentico m soprattutto il costo accessibile, più basso della maggior parte delle alternative in zona.

Il prezzo molto buono considerando Venezia, come già detto gli ambienti e alcune parti comuni richiederebbero un aggiornamento. La pulizia non era impeccabile e avremmo apprezzato trovare almeno una bottiglia d'acqua e qualche cialda per il caffé: in cucina c'è una macchinetta espresso am senza caffé è risultata inutilizzabile.

The apartment is very spacious, the beds perfectly comfortable. The location is excellent, in particular for the Biennale/Arsenale area or connections to the Lido. Communication for check-in was efficient, and we were able to store our belongings beyond check-out time, which was much appreciated.

The kitchen equipment is fine for breakfast and snacks but a bit of a challenge for proper self-catering.

Location and great air con

No microwave, toaster, stairs but it’s Venice. Quite old needs a little updating and spring cleaning. Kitchen utensils etc need to be checked and updated - few things lacking. Washing machine not working.

A nice apartment close to water bus station, walkable distance 20-30 minute to Piazza San Marco, comfortable beds.

The air conditioned didn't seem to cover all the appartment - really hot, hard to get a cool temperature for a good sleep. The terrace was not prepared for guests - when asking the owner, she said the previous guest got the outdoor cushions dirty and there are no spare ones - was not cleaned, with cigarette butts, not even close to the images provided by Booking. When asked the owner about the terrace, she said that is not included in the price, but that is a bonus (so like I was not supposed to ask for it) ! This was not what Booking advertised, and the price - that was not quite low - was for all facilities (checked with Booking), not as the owner said. When I discussed with the owner through Whatapp messages, she was quite strange in her behaviour, with a totally inadequate attitude towards ourselves - and when Booking asked her to get us a discount for not offering the full facilities, she refused. Before booking this appartment I asked specifically if there is a safe storage place for the luggages after check-out, the owner said it is, but in fact when we got there, she told us to leave our luggages on the staircase, totally unsafe - there were other 2 apt in the same building (in fact there was a written message in the apt. that they are not responsible for our luggages left outside the apt). When I asked her to have our luggages in the appartment at least until the other guests check-in, she refused. Another thing was about the city tax: we knew about the city tax, but the owner didn't say anything about where to leave it until after we checked-out - she wanted cash only! Even if she knew we will be back for our luggages and I told her we will give her the tax, if she shows us a safe place - she reported us to Booking, even before getting back to take our luggages! I asked her to send me our invoice from the city council with the city tax, but since June (and it is end of August now) I didn't get anything from her!
