Great location in San Marco near a canal with a great view from balcony. Very easy to get to the historic places, good food and water buses. The room was spacious but could do with more furniture.
I don’t think the host does justice to future guests in the description but it’s important to note. There are two other tenants in rooms on both sides of this room, which may be a concern for those seeking a quieter stay. Our neighbours weren’t too noisy by our standards but a loud conversation at 11pm would be audible in the rest of the flat and may bother some. Two other tenants mean sharing the same bathroom and kitchen, which is a different kind of experience as compared to a live-in host (Haiyan does not live in the flat). Our experience was not affected by that but I could easily see how that can make someone else’s stay unnecessarily poor.
Cleanliness was okay but not worth charging for.
Check-in was easy but we had minor miscommunication, I’d suggest you double check what exactly the host is meaning to say as English is not his first language.
Otherwise, the stay was great and we enjoyed Venice a lot!
