This place is NOT as described.
Their is a major water leak causing stains on the walls and ceiling of the bathroom, which was covered with spider webs.
Peeling paint needs to be addressed as well.
We did not stay and are awaiting a refund.
The host is hard to reach and returns emails slowly.
The neighborhood is great (we come to Venice a few times a year) but this place needs major repairs, a painting and a host who knows what CLEAN is.
How this apartment receives such high reviews is unbelievable.
Either past guests have very low standards or something else is going on?
We took this unit based upon reviews and a bit of a "come on" that it was rarely available and "a gem".
Hardly.
If it were listed as "serviceable but a bit worn" we might have been more understanding, but this was not the case.
We are business people and travel as part of our professions and as such have experienced a wide variety of accommodations.
We just don't like being hustled.
