The great things about this Airbnb are location and the host himself. Marco is incredibly communicative and helpful, and fast to respond. He offered great suggestions for transportation and was always available if needed.
The Airbnb itself leaves quite a bit wanting. There’s AC and a lot of space, which is super nice, but there are things to be aware of. They may not be issues for you, but they were for us.
- The beds are incredibly, incredibly stiff. Myself and my two friends aren’t young people, so we woke up really sore every day. It’s hard to navigate the tiny streets of Venice and really enjoy your time there when your body is in constant pain. We ended up taking the couch cushions and stacking them in top of our mattresses for a little relief.
- The place is not clean. We found several bloody smashed mosquitos on the walls, the couches were full of garbage from previous guests (bottlecaps, card games, hair, gelato spoons, coins, etc.)
- This one isn’t a huge deal, but bring your own toiletries. While there were things available, like shampoo and laundry soap, they were obviously leftover from previous guests (a collection of random, half empty bottles of various brands) rather than provided.
All in all, I personally wouldn’t stay here again, but would recommend it for larger groups of people who are a bit more resilient.
