I’m not sure why there are so many good reviews on this property. Prior to arriving, we received an email that we were to make an appointment with a group of local Venice men and one would meet to give us the key to the apartment (immediately off-putting for two young women traveling alone). The apartment had no running water in one entire bathroom (shower, sink, toilet etc.,). The walls and couch were covered in stains, which was very strange. One air conditioning unit stopped working within minutes of us arriving - and we were told that the other unit had just been repaired. The key to open the door to the apartment is particularly tricky and takes 5+ minutes and some serious luck to open (which I saw in other reviews, but it’s true)! Overall, a lot of broken, dirty and inconvenient occurrences during my stay.
