We called the host but the communication wasn’t great I think she thought check in was 3pm. However, Susan met us at 2.10 and was lovely.

The plumbing and locks are a little difficult.

The view is amazing and the apartment is huge - I loved the decor I felt like royalty with the antique furniture etc. We liked staying this side as it was not as busy and there are some great restaurants on this side - but it’s super easy to whiz back and forth on the boats especially if you have a day pass or 48/72 hour pass.

Overall I think it’s really good value for money - the size of the apartment right on the waterfront - however I must admit the tap in the en-suite did not work, we didn’t have any loo roll and it was a bit dusty in places - but none of that would stop me staying here again 🥰

The views. The apartament overall, with the clàssic furniture and the amazing tall windows

Location and view are amazing. Air conditioner worked. Nice stores a few blocks away. Far away from main Venice (is on the southern island of Giadecca, which is more like a village outside of Venice). LPV restaurant was very good. Harry Dolci is also very good, though too expensive to do often.

Power went out when using the washer. It flipped a surge protector. Air conditioner? No problem. Washing machine? POOF! And it is a front-loading Miele, so your clothes are imprisoned in the machine. Performed a prison break by using delicate COLD water. Suspect it was the heater coil inside the machine pulling too much current, but for the record: It worked the day before when we did darks. So something changed. Called the owner, but her phone was off or something. Luckily the neighbors upstairs showed us where the electrical box was for the main building, since 1) as noted could not get a hold of the property representative through either Booking.com nor her phone number, and 2) the building maintenance guy doesn't work in the afternoons when 'it is hot', which is most of the time in Venice from June onward. Sincere thanks go out to the neighbors above. Also, the water-bus strike on Friday was fun. Luckily we had arrived three days prior and had visited most of the places we wanted and ate at several different areas.
