Great location, spacious room, very very close to the biennale, unfortunately with a few issues that really hurt the experience. 1. The heater was turned off and I couldn’t shower for the first night. Videoed host (very responsive, thank you) to turn on the heater, but the hot water is still very intermittent. Shower became a chicken and mouse game where I can only step in every 15 seconds, until I decided on the 3rd day to dive into the control panel and adjust the settings for the heater to make it more consistent. It wasn’t complicated, it was just a hassle that involved freezing water and running between the toilet and the heater naked and wet that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. 2. We all expect a city built in a lagoon to be infested with mosquitos but it’s up to the host to fix the windows or at least leave us some bug zappers. I never opened any of the windows but they just kept coming. I killed 8 the first night. 12 the second. Guess how many hours of sleep I got. The walls are plastered with legions of bodies from me and from generations of guests before me. The third night I just gave up, went to sleep, and woke up with 20+ bites. 3. The host demands cash payment for tourist tax, on top of the fees paid through Airbnb. CASH ONLY. So if you suddenly found yourself a few shillings short, good luck running around town trying to find an ATM with all your luggage the morning you are trying to catch a train, and also pay some exorbitant exchange fees. It’s not that hard to setup PayPal, or just include that annoying tourist tax inside the Airbnb bill, like everyone else does. All in all, unbeatable price for a private apartment on the island. Would be so much more worth it if those small annoyances are addressed, and it’s not like they would take so much effort, would they?
