Tancredi’s apartment was a big let down. After staying in beautiful accommodations in Rome and Positano, I was looking forward to this Venice apartment.
Tancredi was very accommodating via messaging before our arrival. However, the apartment is in need of a deep cleaning and new towels.
After carrying our luggage up 60 stairs at 10:30pm, the apartment smelled of trash, gnats were flying around, dead bugs were splattered on various walls, the wooden beams had dust, the rug was dirty, the bathroom wasn’t clean, the towels were crusty and hard, the dish rack inside of the cabinet was corroded, the walls had scuff marks, and the lock on the front gate of the building‘s entrance was difficult to open.
I was quite disappointed when we arrived, so I reached out to Tancredi and to Martin, the check-in host about the issues. Martin responded, saying that he spoke to Tancredi and that he would respond the next day. So a whole 10 hours went by before I heard from the owner, who insisted that the apartment was clean and that he couldn’t paint the walls in between guests.
However, no one came to the apartment to rectify the issues. Later, I realized that the apartment building itself smells of trash, and being on the 5th floor, the odor rises into the apartment.
The apartment has the potential be a wonderful unit. But until those issues are rectified (scrub the walls, deep cleaning, new towels). I definitely wouldn’t recommend the apartment.
