It was way different than expected, but I liked it. It was clean and comfortable. Felt that I could kick back and relax. It had a bit of a backpacker feel to it with things labelled with masking tape here and there. It also had a few little glitches (ie. the dryer didn't really work, there was no heat and it spun for 3 hours and still didn't dry the clothes, yet the thermostat also didn't work and we had constant heat blasting in the apartment.) The heat was dealt with with a simple phone call to management. All in all, it was good. A little pricey but can't complain given the prices in Venice.
