The apartment is just okay. It needs a fresh coat of paint and the couches are all stained. The cover on the throw pillow on the couch was ripped so the inside cushion was popping out the side. The rooms smelled like sewage, but it got better when we opened the windows and ran water in the sinks and flushed the toilets. I understand that they may not have had guests for a while because of COVID, but it would have been nice for the place to be checked over before we arrived. When we arrived, the bathroom light didn't work and the upstairs bed was covered in dust and bead bugs (as if they had been falling from the rafters above and collecting over time). We told Alex's brother about the bathroom light and he had it fixed by the time we got back later in the day. He also suggested a place for a lunch on the go and a restaurant for dinner. He was very friendly and told us not to hesitate to contact him. If you are worried about COVID restrictions though, he met us without a mask, which I did thing was strange since things are just now reopening and they are still required. We really appreciated that he met us at the apartment when we arrived (a bit earlier than check-in) so we could leave our bags as we only had the afternoon in Venice and wanted to get out and explore right away. I would say that the apartment just needs some attention.....but for 300Euro for a one day stay we way overpaid!
