First of all, the place is beautiful. Very clean and tastefully decorated. There is a nice choice of cookies, snacks etc in the kitchen that you can help yourself to, as well as teas, coffees, and other drinks.
Room:
The room was nice and comfortable, and so was the bathroom, though it was shared. There were no issues with the room, however one of the ladies who was staying there told me that she wasn't able to use the hot water in the morning. Other than that everything was better than expected.
Location:
The location could maybe be better. I arrived late evening via train, and had a hard time figuring out how to get there. You have to walk a few minutes until you reach the tram station, then figure out how to buy tickets at the machines. It is a little confusing. Once I had reached the station it was easy to locate the right place.
I stayed there on a Sunday. Not sure if this is relevant but it was a little difficult to get to Venice. You have to buy bus tickets, at the tobacco shops. However the ones nearby were closed. So I had to search up and down for one. Once I had bought it, i had to walk all the way back to wait for the bus. It wasn't on time, and I waited a total of 20-25 minutes. The bus was very full on the way there. Coming back, the bus also took around 20 mins to arrive at pickup point.
Communication:
Katia seemed very nice, and can speak fairly good English, which is great. The lady I met during check in, though unable to speak English, was also very motherly and nice. I used Google Translate app to communicate with her.
There is some room for improvement though.
The instructions for getting to her apartment were not that detailed, and I had to ask people for help in getting there. Her answers to my questions of how to get to Venice and the airport were also not as helpful as they could be. For e.g, on how to get to the airport, she asked me to check it on Go*gle Maps. The info on buses were also a bit confusing, as there is number 7 and 7E. 7E doesn't take you to Venice (or at least not all of them do), although she said it would.
Thankfully I met a lovely American couple who had been there a few days to guide me and make the journey to Venice with me.
Overall, I think Katia's place is lovely. It is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The snacks and food is also a big plus. The other guests I met there were also very nice. The only problem is with the communication and getting instructions for people who are not familiar with Italy and the transport.
Other than that, this was definitely my best AirBnB experience so far.
