The apartment is in a great location, just two minutes from the Arsenale. It’s in a really quiet spot and there was an easy check in and out. The kitchen is small but perfect for our needs.
We did feel disappointed with our stay however, especially given the slightly higher cost than comparative apartments.
The owner charged us 30€ euros for leaving a very small amount of rubbish (which was neatly bagged) in the apartment. She does state this cost will be levied in her terms and we did miss this, so the onus is on us. However, this feels like a high cost and not in keeping with the spirit of Airbnb.
Communication was perfunctory, this felt more like a business and not a friendly interaction with a homeowner.
The shower was blocked and wouldn’t drain when we arrived. We let the owner know and she dropped off a plunger and drain cleaner liquid.
We did notice a couple of other issues but just wanted to get on with our short holiday, rather than complaining or dealing with lots of issues. We think that the cleaner is missing things and not reporting to the owner. There were dead mosquitoes on the walls in the bedroom and dust under the bed.
If these things could be ironed out, the apartment would be great as it’s in such a good location.
