Unfortunately, this was the worst Airbnb I have seen in three years of traveling around the world. Technically, it is not an Airbnb accommodation but a hostel. The location is not described correctly: it is not 12 minutes walk from the railway station: I ended up taking a taxi for 12 Euros as the road goes along the highway and is not walkable. On the day of my departure, a local resident explained to me that it is also dangerous to walk there with a suitcase as you would have to go under the highway/bridge and, sadly, many homeless people stay there overnight and there are reports of crime. It would be hard to do it, anyway, as the GPS loses signal in this area. It took about 10 minutes by taxi. If you want to save money by staying further from the historical center, think twice: the transportation will cost $20 Euros per day (tram, bus and boat) and $40 if you buy a 72-hour ticket. Also, the tobacco store that is selling the tickets were trying to sell a daily ticket and it would end up costing more. If you are staying here, buy a one-way bus ticket to the Venice railway station and then purchase the pass that fits your needs the best (24, 72 hours and some other deals.) I had to attend Bieannale events at Arsenale and it took me an hour and a half each way (three hours per day) to get there, and one time two hours one way, during the busy time. It is a beautiful ride but the boats do not come often at night and at some point, the bus stops riding (I did not go as late so not sure.) On the way back, I almost was late because the trams to the Mestre railway station do not start running till 7 am. Also, as I was told by the local residents, the buses do not stop at Google-indicated bus stop on Tuesdays and Sundays. Note that there is 4 Euro tax IN CASH that you will be paying at arrival. As for the accommodation: the room was clean but the bathroom was shared with three other rooms (at least two of them occupied by couples) and as a result, the line for the bathroom (toilet and shower) was up to two hours in the morning. Since there is no other bathroom one can not use the toilet. The walls are very thin and you hear every sound (partying, lovemaking, telephone conversations, knocking and some hammer-like pounding at 1 am.) My window was facing a busy street with a bar or a disco and every night there was drunken singing and shouting till at least midnight. On Saturdays, the square turns into a market so around 8 am there is noise (booths being constructed etc.) On Monday, the garbage truck came at 5.45. I also saw a rat outside (it is not anything the host can control and the rats can appear anwhere but it adds to the picture.) If you are still planning to come, make sure to bring earplugs. The door had a glass in it so when at night people turned on the light, it woke me up. To top it off, my room had some unusual smell but opening the window resulted in loud noise and mosquitoes and keeping it shut kept the room hot and smelly. The bed was very narrow and the mattress uncomfortable but the bedding and the towel were very clean. This is my first negative review--and between my partner and I, we left about fifty reviews overall. A youth hostel is a better deal because you might meet cool people, pay the same price and have adequate expectations. Positive: the cleaning lady was very sweet, friendly and offered me a fresh towel the day before I was leaving. I also could see that a lot of work and effort is going into cleaning and running this place so I am a bit sorry to leave a negative review but at least the instructions/directions must be clarified and improved so people know what they are booking. Have fun in Venice, it is amazing.
