I think overall, if you are wanting to do Venice on a budget then this is an okay place to stay. The location really is fantastic, with loads of stuff nearby, but quiet at night. the walls are paper thin though, you can hear the neighbours conversations and they can probably hear yours.
The terrace looks nothing like it does on the photos, in person it’s dingy and dirty, which was a real shame because it would have been lovely to use, but we didn’t use it at all. The shower is leaky, we had to keep a towel just to mop up the water on the floor after we showered.
there’s no air conditioning, but the apartment is actually quite cool, even in the heat which was nice. they have two big fans, which helped keep us cool.
It’s a real shame, this place has loads of potential, and we had a lovely check in with the guy who checked us in.
The trash situation is a little confusing, if you’ve never visited Venice before, trash is either collected early morning, or you have to take it to a collection point. You can’t leave the bins full when you leave, it has to be given to the trash guys that come round. They give you a map of drop off points too.
Credit card details are taken upon arrival too, which i’ve never experienced using air bnb before, i’m not sure how common that is. Just a heads up if you’re not comfortable giving that kind of information out.
There’s a strip of cool restaurants and bars close by, a really nice ciccheti place called Vino Vero and a gorgeous pizza place called Pizzeria Da Zorma.
