Upon arrival to Venice, we were greeted by Dilan at the central train station. He was extremely helpful in guiding us to the apartment via water taxi and even assisting with a heavy suitcase.

The apartment was very spacious--far more so than the pictures indicate and we comfortably fit 5 people. Additionally, it was great to have the option to heat the apartment in the evenings, as it was very chilly inside at night. The apartment is on the less touristy side of Venice, but is very close to Santa Margherita, which had a ton of (mainly student/touristy) restaurants and bars of that's what you're looking for.

The only hiccup was the requirement to present every visitor's passports and to pay a tourist tax. We were informed of this once we arrived to the apartment. This was not indicated on the original post OR the house guide, so would recommend being prepared to account for this step. The tax is a small fee (1.50 euros per person per night), so best to have the cash on hand. We ended having to take photos of passports of those who were arriving the next day and emailing them, which was rather inconvenient and not ideal since this wasn't a secure process with official forms.

Additionally, one side of the queen sized bed in the back bedroom was broken/slanting, so was not very comfortable.

Overall, the stay was very good for the price and location, and we greatly appreciated how helpful Dilan and communicative was.
