✔the ride to Venice takes about half an hour by a really fast train, but the location is fine taking into consideration that this is Venice. A really good supermarket is close.
✖the house is really cold and old with weird smell in it; the owner does have soap and washing liquid, but it's 90% added water, do it's impossible to wash the dishes for sure. but the main reason I gave 2/5 is because of two situations: 1. we came to the city in the late afternoon, so we were heading to Venice after 8/9 pm, before leaving the place I talked to the owner, he said nothing about the thing that there we can buy the tickets only in tobacco shops which were already closed. As s result, we were fined cause there was nowhere where we could buy the tickets. This is our problem, definitely, but I would mention such a thing first of all if I have travellers from other countries, to me a host should be a person where I can get information as well. But most of all another situation surprised me where problems of communication showed themselves again. Our flight was in the afternoon, so the day before I was asking how we could get to the airport, etc, and the owner did ask what time the flight was. In the morning I left the house and my husband who doesn't speak English stayed there to pack. at 9.50 there was a knock on the door , as it turned out (which is definitely our mistake, we didn't check the time for checkout, just assumed it was 12) we had to check out at 10, my husband packed in 10 mins and left the room, BUT I was astonished that when he asked if he could use the kitchen (cause obviously we were going to be there 2 hours more and didn't have breakfast) , the owner said NO. God knows why, there is enough space in the house. So , I got really angry because of these situations, this is the first time I come across such indifference or weirdness, I don't know how to put it, in an Airbnb host.
