I will start by saying the apartment is in a prime location in Venice. Also our point of contact was very reliable, responsive and thorough.
The apartment however is very inaccessible, we didn’t know we would be put up on the fourth floor in a building with no elevator. There were two seniors (70+) in our party and 4 checked luggage + carry ons in total that we had to haul up very tiny stairs which were somewhat slanted. Venice is an old city, and frankly this is a common problem.
The apartment itself was clean. The pictures on the Airbnb listing showed views of the canal but our unit had no views and was completely obstructed. The faucet in the shower leaks, and the pressure is very low. Bathroom also didn’t have any mats. The living area and master bed is equipped with portable air conditioners. The hose out of the window was not sealed and thus the room never actually cooled. The second bedroom was very hot and unsleepable for us. The problem is compounded by an insect/mosquito problem that made the stay uncomfortable. The air conditioning cannot get to the second room. The washer in the unit is very very old and small, we couldn’t turn the knob to set it to the right setting. Believe me, we tried turning it and it would move one notch and just stay there. Clothes are to be dried on an clothes line as there is no dryer. We washed our clothes on day 1 and they didn’t dry up in 36 hours. We ended up buying laundry detergent and shower gel as none was given.
The tray in the dishwasher keeps coming off,, and is quite clunky. The sofa bed is also unusable and needs fixing. All that said, edoardos apartment might still fit the bill for many that visit Venice and want a place to stay in the heart of the city.
