NOT OUR GREATEST EXPERIENCE
We spent two nights in this apartment and we were glad it was only two.
We were told that we could park close to the apartment, anyone who‘s been to Italy probably knows about ZTL zones in cities so we could not drive directly to the apartment. Upon arrival we called the host who confirmed it was possible but we couldn‘t find a way so we parked in a public garage (about 600m away, 12€ per day was ok).
When entering the apartment there was a really musty smell to it. Overall, there was a huge difference between the pictures and the apartment itself:
- no plants, decorative blankets or other as seen on the pictures
- furniture pretty used, yellow stains on the kitchen table (yuck)
- you do not want to cook here: old and very few kitchen supplies, not really clean
The apartment (to us) was not very clean in general, the dishes were dirty and the dish towel smelly so we air dried the two pieces we used. The washing machine was the worst: long black hair and not clean at all (after a week on the road we wanted to wash some things, hand-washed them in the end). Worst whatsoever was hair in the bed, especially on the pillow. That‘s an absolute no go, especially with 90€ per night.
There were some pros though:
- huge supermarket etc. close to the apartment
- apartment is really spacious, storage for clothes etc.
- bus stop and tabacco shop (to buy the tickets) in front of the door, 15 min to Venice
- quiet area even though close to the street
- AC worked perfectly fine with 34°C outside. Only the bedroom didn‘t have one but there‘s a fan, it works (not fantastic but it does work)
- communication was good, more like in a standard hotel, nothing special but very easy
Would we recommend? No. We were actually glad to leave and to get to spend a few relaxed days by the water now.
If you don’t mind the parts about cleanliness, you will be fine. If you‘d rather have an apartment that doesn‘t feel like the sheets haven‘t been changed, you shouldn‘t go.
