The host was helpful by letting us check in early and gave us really useful advice regarding Venice, local supermarkets and transport. We however were left dissatisfied with our overall experience. The apartment hadn’t been cleaned prior to our arrival as there was visible dust, hair and general dirt throughout. Washing was left in the apartment which was fine however it began to smell very damp and unpleasant during our stay. General amenities which you would usually expect from a well reviewed host were not provided such as cooking oil, washing up liquid, kitchen roll, bowls. We purchased these ourselves and left them in the apartment after our stay for future guests. There was a washing machine which was very useful however the liquid provided was empty so again we purchased this. We also experienced an issue with the washing machine which we addressed with the host who wasn’t particularly helpful in resolving the issue. The apartment was in a great location as it was a 5 min walk away from the bus stop which takes 10-15 mins to get to Venice however the surrounding area was a bit more run down than we expected. This could be a really great place to stay if a few simple changes were made.
