The host was very communicative which made the arrival very easy. There was a smell that seemed to come from the bathroom, but it could have just been the smell from out the window. Luckily we were not out the house for most of the day so it wasn't a huge issue. The couch bed cushions were ripped and some of the sheets had stains on them. Also, there were no paper towels or dish towels in the kitchen. The location was about a 15 minute walk from Saint Mark's Basilica. The walk might be nicer in the summertime but it was quite cold the weekend we attended.
Luckily, our host was very good at responding and gave us clear instructions about the house.
