Good apartment
We neling joyed staying at this apartment in the Castello Sestiere of Venice. It was apparently recently renovated and done very well and in very good taste--modern and sleek. We were met at the vaporetto stop by an employee of the namagement company, who led us through the maze of streets to the apartment. Thre was a thorough notebook that explained recycycling, etc. As to be expected, there were a few minor problems, e.g. a ceiling bulb out, a very loose toilet seat, one of the two wine classes was cracked, but problems like this are to be expected. Trash collection is interesting. There are three categories of trash, and two are collected on one day and one on the alternative day. You take the bag to a trash collection boat on a small canal, or sometimes there is a person closer with a trash collection cart. A bit puzzling at first, but in a strange way amusing. We needed assistance getting back to the vaporetto stop when we departed, since there are some bridges to climb. Marco, the owner, arranged for a porter to assist us, which worked out quite well. I found the steps leading to the apartment to be a bit steep, and I normally used the elevator. However, on our last evening the light in the elevator was flashing and the next morning, when we needed to take out luggage out, there was no light at all in the elevator. (Used celll phone for light.) I did not call Marco since this started rather late on our last evening. Not a major issue, but I was suprised that the lift did not have back-up lighting. On the whole we really enjoyed out stay at this apartment, and the few problems were negligible. Marco was very helpful.
