We had a short 2 night stay in Venice. The location of Franca’s apartment was great, walking distance to everything & quite spacious for what we needed.
However, navigating Venice is quite difficult and the instructions given were not accurate. In future it would be worth asking the host to meet at the water bus stop (San Stae) to walk to the apartment.
There was also nothing holding the shower head up & we felt it very difficult to use this. He mentioned once we checked in that the shower was a “sit down shower”. It would benefit from having a simple hook installed on the wall so you do not have to hold it.
Although we were aware of the fold out bed - we found it very uncomfortable & extremely squeaky. We did not have a good sleep while there & there were many mosquitoes.
However, the hosts were lovely & made us feel very welcome. They were very accommodating to letting us check in early & check out late as they had no one staying there the next night. We were very grateful for this.
