We travel a lot and sometimes take a risk with new Airbnbs. Usually, everything is perfect. Unfortunately, this time the apartment was not ready to receive people.
The main problem was the lack of Wifi, which the host claimed the apartment has on the listing. Only upon the arrival and after the check-in host said that there's no wifi. It put us in a difficult position - last-minute booking in Rome right after Easter was crazy expensive, and we didn't have reliable internet on the phone. The host didn't offer any alternatives, and I had to resolve it with Airbnb Support.
Apart from this problem, there were small things - no cutting knives, no place to dry clothes, and a lot of dust.
On the positive side, if you want to experience the local lifestyle, the neighborhood is very residential. It's not as far from the attraction as it looks - the tram to Venezia square takes only 20 minutes. The apartment itself is renovated and has most of the appliances, even some kids' toys. And we found a few good restaurants around. I even had the best Gnocchi ever.
