Great location, pity about the building works outside.
This property was booked a very long time ago and literally two days before our arrival, Federica contacted me to say the building was being refurbished and we could have a full refund if we didn't want to sit behind scaffolding! It has clearly been so for months. Too little notice, and we hadn't time to find anywhere else. So we arrived. The lift was very helpful. The apartment is very easy to find, very centrally located and a literal five minute walk from two different vaporetto stops. The bakery opposite does a great breakfast, the little excellent supermarket was two minutes away on the same street. Many local restaurants and bars nearby. All good. The air conditioning worked well but it was only in the main bedroom and our granddaughter, in the second bedroom, fried in 28 degrees overnight with just a table top fan. The lounge area was also very hot indeed. Bathrooms good.
Federica, when asked, agreed to refund us one night of our five booked nights for the building works, which were not at all what was expected and for that I am grateful. The terrace is usable, but covered in scaffolding and the views are not what the pictures led us to believe. But please note, the entire front of the building is covered in scaffolding and wrapping, the entrance hall is piled high with builders rubble and many many sacks of various sorts of plaster. The works are not nearly finished. I strongly recommend that you enquire whether the works are completed before booking.
