First off, Enrico's apartment in San Polo Venice is very nice, modern and centrally located. However, advanced communications with the owner and his local on-site rep (Mrs. Marino) were a problem.1. We waited one hour with our luggage for her to show up at the agreed meeting spot.2. She seemed very unhappy.3. She took us on a high speed chase to the apartment while we pulled our luggage over rough streets and bridges. We kept asking her to slow down (we are both in our 70s.)4. Mrs. Marino did not speak any English. So, all communications went through Google translate on her cell. This included 20 minutes of confused discussion about a cash city tax (which we paid).After she left, we read Enrico's English printed instructions left on the table. There were inconsistencies. His book said you could set heating/cooling temperatures as needed, but the thermostat had a "DO NOT TOUCH" note on it. The first two nights we were freezing cold until I found the system wasn't even turned on. When I turned it on, we were fine. There were no sheets for the pull-out bed in the living room which my wife needed to use (we snore). Trash instructions were confusing. There was an 8-hour electrical blackout (apparently common) with confusing instructions.This apartment is not close by Vaporetto as implied (San Stae - 20 min). A water taxi stop is nearby (Remer Sq. - 5 min). If we had known more details in advance and/or spoke Italian, things would have been much easier.
