Ok, first the good points: - The place is close to Venezia Mestre which lessens the time to travel in and out of Venice Island. It has some good places to eat around, and thats always an advantage. The room we were staying in was quite big with an additional single sleeper. Now, the negatives: - We never met Lucia (in whose name this listing is created) and this was alarming for us. The person that we did meet (Ming) does not speak a single word of English (this listing shows up even though you select English as the host's language) which is highly misleading. It was extremely difficult to communicate even the basic things with Ming as he looked nervous all the time and kept typing things in his translation app. We gave up after the first 5 mins and went outside. So, unless you are from a far-eastern country that speaks the same language, I do not recommend that you stay here. A day before we arrived in Venice, we got a message on Air BnB that the we were staying in a different place than the one which is listed as the current one had hot water issues. Although I appreciate the new place to solve the issue, I would have expect that they updated the same in the official listing. There is no lift (which we weren't aware of) and had to haul 2 big bags up 2 stories after a tiring travel. When we entered the flat, there was a despicable odor from some food being cooked in the kitchen, and it had permeated throughout the entire flat including our room at the end of the corridor. The odor really sickened us and we had to rush to open up all windows in the room to breathe. The odor continued being there till very late that day and it actually made us visit a few hotels to see if they had vacancy so that we could check-out of this place. The room has no air conditioning/fans. It was quite warm on the afternoon that we checked-in, and were very uncomfortable in the room till we decided to step out and come back late in the night when it was cooler. We weren't explained anything properly as Ming (the caretaker) couldn't speak English. We weren't even given towels till I had to ask for them, and post some searching, he gave us two and no hand towels. On asking him for two more, he gave me such a long noooo, as if I had asked for his kidney. The bathroom is shared amongst 3-4 rooms, and although people kept it clean, the toilet paper wasn't replaced on the last day that we were there and that irritated us. The entire building looks dilapidated and run-down. There was a lot of noise all night long coming through the windows and I couldn't sleep a wink. Although we walked in and out of the flat and to the...
