Convenient and clean but not comfortable
The location of this apartment was really convenient for train travel. It was also very pretty and quite clean, a great size with all the amenities we needed for a short stay. We enjoyed the short walks to get cicchetti by the canals as well. We did, however, have a few issues. Just as a note, this place is not good if you need flexibility on your arrival because the check in time you indicate is kind of set in stone. The landlord is not local, which is fine but is something to be aware of if travel plans go awry or you like to take things as they come.
We were met at the train station by Francesco which was a nice offer, but getting to the apartment from the train was very straightforward and we didn't actually need an escort. Unfortunately, Francesco also made us VERY uncomfortable. We made the mistake of accepting a spritz after a short tour, where I had hoped for more history of the neighborhood, but he spent a lot of the time making prejudicial remarks about Chinese and Argentinian people that we were taken aback by. He also kept pushing his walking tour on us which we had not agreed to go to, but he kind of assumed we would go to.
Aside from that odd start, we found the location convenient but not quiet like I had expected from the listing. Yes, it is off the main street and the neighbors were quiet but there are walking tours early in the morning and the courtyard is very echoey, making it also loud all through the day until about midnight because there is a lot of foot traffic through there. I accomodated for this possibility with ear plugs so it was still okay.
The bed, though, was also very uncomfortable. I'm fine with a firm bed but this one had a huge lump at your lumbar and I ended up waking with numb fingers and toes one morning from not being able to sleep in a good position. The pillows looked fluffy but instantly became flat and hard when you put your head on them.
Overall, I would not stay here again even though the apartment itself was nice, as well as clean. And I also would not rent from this landlord again (because yes, of course, they made sure to tell us about their London listing) because I didn't feel completely comfortable as I have with previous hosts in our communication.
