The location is great! The communication with host was great, too. The value is really worth it. It's an easy walk to any place a tourist would want to go, yet secluded. The wifi is very speedy and reliable.
Yet the apartment itself was good, but not great. Many small touches are missing: There was no hot water, at all. We took only cold showers. The "romantic" lighting wasn't romantic to us, it was just dark. It's hard to see at night. There is only one trash can in the whole place, under the kitchen sink. This seems minor, but you do need a trash can in the restroom. The bed in the smaller bedroom is very uncomfortable. The AC (which works great!) makes water gurgle in the kitchen sink, constantly. The couch pillows are not attached well so they shift to the ground when you sit on them for little while. Most of these issues seem like they could be fixed with a little attention. The windows are thick, but you will hear noise from gondoliers from morning until late at night. I know, you think that gondolas are romantic, and you would love to hear someone singing from a gondola. We also loved the first five of them -- but that was in the first five minutes. 85 gondolas later, it gets really annoying hearing "Volare" over and over again. Rent with confidence, but be aware of these issues.
