We found the apartment very stylish and spacious, however the outsourced hosts let it down somewhat.
We had to fill in a separate online form giving alot of personal information and the small print stated our details would be given to 3rd parties. When we queried this, we were told it was a computerised form and we had to fill everything in. Within minutes of submitting the form, we were inundated with sales calls from Italian numbers asking “if we liked Pizza”. Despite blocking the number, calls kept on coming day and night a week before our trip - too much of a coincidence?
The accommodation is a stylish space with character and much appreciated air con! The limitations for the guest experience are the quality of fixtures (particularly in the bathroom), and lack of zoned lighting in the kitchen and dining areas. The wi-if was a plug in, that didn’t charge properly, wasn’t secure and didn’t work for most of our stay. Also, the guest manual wasn’t very user friendly and gave more information about penalty charges than about guest experience.
We are sure that all the above can be easily rectified, if the host was more involved with special touches for the guest.
Venice is a wonderful city and the apartment sits well between St Marks Sq and Rialto in a cul-de-sac, so very private and well positioned.
