The location is great. Close to shops, restaurants, transit,
Etc... only a 20 min bus ride into Venice. The place is huge! ...well in comparison to every other European apartment we have stayed in. Like the bedroom was bigger than our whole suite in Prague and Paris. The location was quiet in the evenings and bright with lots of sunshine coming through during the day.
Check in wasn’t so great. We were informed that another guy would be meeting us and was given his phone number. We got there early and 10 minutes after the specified time, I thought maybe we were at the wrong place so I called. Got sent directly to voicemail but got a text saying “Text Riccardo. He’ll be meeting you” and with his phone number. So I text Riccardo except the number given was wrong. So I had to find the correct number myself through AirBNB. He finally showed up 20 minutes later with no apology. Normally, I wouldn’t care but after a 7 hour travel day and it being 9pm and raining, I just wanted to settle in.
The listing says there is coffee but there wasn’t any. We mentioned it (twice) to his face and he didn’t even acknowledge the question. Just brushed it off.
Again, as I stated, the space is lovely. But it would have been nice to be informed to not keep the windows open at night. We opened them as soon as we got there as it was musky. My husband and I woke up to roughly 50 mosquito bites on us and I’m not exaggerating. We looked up at the ceiling and there was literally a hundred up there. The 2nd night, we couldn’t sleep at all because we kept hearing them flying around us and again, woke up to more bites on us.
Although Venice and the space is lovely, we’re glad we only stayed there for 2 nights.
