The host met us at the train station and walked us over to the unit together. That was great! The process of checking in took a long while, but finally that was done and we could walk out the door again and be right in the midst of good restaurants, shopping, and the beauty of Venice. It was a perfect location for someone who didn't want to walk far, except you do go up three flights with the bags once you get there.
The unit is spacious. We didn't even use the kitchen and dining room as we weren't there long and wanted to be out more. The master bedroom has the view; the other two have the quiet. This is nice because the Gran Canal is out the window of the master and can be noisy, but it also the living room, so everyone can enjoy it, and then there is a room to fit different sleeping habits. Pros and cons of that whole set up of course, because at first of course everyone wanted the view!
Also, the third bedroom had two beds, and both were a little small for a tall adult man (we were five adults) but he made it work. The other two rooms were great for two couples.
There was some issue with the plumbing backing up and overflowing both of the mornings we were there. The hosts were as quick as possible to get a plumber, but it did disturb our day. They were fair with refunding part of our money because we were literally mopping up water for them and having to use the bathroom elsewhere, but it really wasn't fun for us. We just knew we would want someone to do the same for us if that happened. Apparently this is a new airbnb unit and I have no idea what size family the unit used to accommodate. They said just did a lot of renovations, and we know that often requires a little tweaking later to get all the fixes just right, so hopefully that problem is now taken care of completely.
Overall, based on the location and the price, which were our reasons for choosing this unit, I would recommend this unit compared to other rentals we saw in the area. This was just so convenient for our short stay that any other details were acceptable because it met our two most important requirements. And, the view was like a dream; Venice really is beautiful. Thank you for opening up your space for guests to enjoy!!
