The apartment was clean and in a great location, close to restaurants, supermarkets and water taxis. There is a water taxi to and from the airport around the corner of the apartment although the bad really outweighed the good during our stay here.
We had a few issues during our stay, firstly there is only one air conditioning that is available and can supposedly be used to cool down the whole house. Unfortunately 2 rooms were not facing the air con at all and keeping all windows closed and doors open did not cool the upstairs floor, nevermind the downstairs area. The hosts were quite accommodating by providing us fans for the rooms as we requested since the heat in Venice during the summer was very difficult to sleep in. I would think that staying here in the autumn and winter when the weather is colder would pose no issues regarding temperature but I would avoid it during summer.
We also had an issue with the ensuite bathroom, the shower would take nearly an hour to fully drain the water, we had to resort to placing towels by the bathroom door so the water would not escape into the room. In addition to that, the shower seemed to leak water down to the floor underneath. We did notify the hosts of this issue on the first night and they said they would call someone to fix it but the next time we used it, the water still did not drain. This forced us to use the other shower between 8 people which added far too much time while getting ready to go out daily.
Finally we had trouble with leaving our luggage in the apartment after checkout despite making this request with the hosts prior to booking this airbnb as well as reminding them the night before. Instead, we were met with a cleaner who spoke not one word of English and spent about half an hour trying to get in contact with the hosts so that they could speak to her on our behalf. This was a stressful time for us since we did not arrange anywhere else to store our luggage and we only had a few hours left in the city to grab some breakfast before we could head to the airport.
Be aware that there are strict rules regarding rubbish collection/disposal in Venice. The information is outlined in a handbook provided in the apartment although we were too busy to actually read it and the hosts did not remind us about this, unlike the city tax we had to pay before we checked out. We were not aware of the rules regarding rubbish disposal but the cleaner refused to take our rubbish so we had to spend so much time walking around the city to find somewhere to dispose of our rubbish. Needless to say, all of these issues left us with a bad impression of this apartment.
