Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Spacious apartment on a quiet street and close to everything. I was a bit confused when communication came from a different name (Red House) and not through Expedia. I checked that it was legitimate, but there were differences in process, so do confirm. Red House person was great and let us leave our bags early on day of check-in while housekeeping was there. GO TO Vizio Virtù Cioccolateria--the brilliant chocolatier/bakery just up the main road at Sestiere Castello 5988. Amazing.

L’appartement est très bien et bien situé. Petit bémol il y a un autre appartement dessus et dès qu’il y a du monde dedans on entend tout leur pas et dès qu’il bouge quelque chose, c’est fort désagréable.
