Good - stylish, minimal apartment. Good range of amenities. Location was perfect. Host was polite, friendly and met us at the vaporetto water bus stop. Because there was no one booked at the apartment after us, the host allowed us to use the apartment as late as we wanted, which was very welcome as we had a late flight home. Venice is a truly beguiling place with treasures around every corner!
Bad - Noisy double bed - very cheap base - you get woken up every time you move!
Building work in adjacent apartment (also owned/managed) by host. No lie-ins as they start at 8am!! Host didn't even mention there was work being carried out which might disturb us. Clearly the host doesn't realise that we are meant to be on holiday!
One morning without warning, one of the workmen from the adjacent apartment let himself in to our apartment (he had keys) - whilst my young family and I were sleeping - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! There was no reason for him to enter the apartment - he clearly would have seen my belongings by the front door and should have realised immediately that there were people staying in the apartment - he got as far as the bedrooms at the rear of the property before I realised what was going on. A disturbing event which has never, ever happened before when renting airbnb's. Host apologised via WhatsApp (!?). Without noisy bed, building work and related intrusion it could have got five stars.
