The room posted wasn't available. We received a different room, with the bathroom outside the room under lock and key. Honestly, we had booked in an emergency situation and didn't have the option to be picky. We were grateful the host was in contact with us relatively quickly and the pressure to find a place was relinquished. They were great in accommodating our situation, although time was "Venican time", meaning +/- 10 minutes. There wasn't a salon per say. The rental is literally is a room with a bathroom. No place to relax other than your bed. Since it's Venice and the point is to be out and about, I guess that isn't an issue for most people. Over all, the place was clean and the basics were taken care of.
