The flat was in a great location, right next to the canal (but not overlooking). Really close to some excellent bars and restaurants. It is close to, but away from the main tourist areas, at least that’s how it felt.
The bedroom is a good size, living area very small, but as we were two people and intended on being out everyday this wasn’t a problem.
A European adapter plug was provided which was a nice touch.
A few things that would have increased my rating of this Airbnb. Check in wasn’t clear before arrival, having to message the host on the day for instructions (luckily my mobile plan allows for roaming) we had to go to a local bar and ask for a key. I also had to message the host and ask for details for check out.
The neighbours kept leaving a bag of rubbish outside the door of the flat, it wasn’t ours and instructions as to how, when/ where to put bins out would have solved this issue (I think in Venice it is quite complicated due to the nature of the city!). Despite it not being ours we would have put it out and avoided clearly, and unintentionally, annoying a resident.
Coffee pods weren’t provided for the machine. The breakfast selection was a very meagre looking granola in a pot. There was also little hand wash left, with only one to be shared for both sinks (kitchen and bathroom). In fact I think it was actually washing up liquid. We were only staying a few nights and as paying guests these things should have been available upon arrival, so we didn’t ask for them, the point in my view is we shouldn’t have had to. Certainly in the next Airbnb we stayed in on our trip we had plenty of coffee, sugar, milk and breakfast items upon arrival. In my view to achieve a high rating these things should be provided.
Wi-Fi didn’t work for us, or for the tele so we weren’t able to watch Netflix.
