Overall the space was nice and clean with comfortable beds (sleeping is mostly what we used it for). Good location and a quick walk to anything we wanted to see.
Giving this space 3 stars because:
- Though the listing shows air conditioning, it apparently isn’t available until June… it was 80 degrees in the apartment our first night. The mosquitoes are so bad in Venice, you can’t open the windows without expecting several bites while you sleep. opening the windows is a bad idea as well.
- When I asked the host about it, he told me the AC beginning in June was explained to my friend (it wasn’t - he said the best way to cool the space was with the windows open) and that the temperature outside was perfect (implying I shouldn’t be complaining). Wasn’t the best customer service experience with communication.
- Various surprise charges you won’t know about until after booking, required in cash, such as - late check-in fees (€50-70) or fee to take out the trash if you forget (€50).
- The space was fine for what we needed, but there were other Airbnbs in the same area with better views or were nicer overall for the same price. The benefit to this one is that it had two bedrooms (and three separate beds), which others only had two beds.
He was very accommodating with allowing a friend to stay one night and check-in for us though he wasn’t on the reservation since was just there for one night. However, we did this to avoid the late check-in fee (I checked in late all over Italy and this was the only time this was requested). So that being said, the inconveniences associated with the experience and way the host communicated back when I raised questions about the air conditioning left me feeling unsatisfied with the stay and I would recommend other Airbnb options in Venice during your trip.
