I booked this accommodation due to the great reviews. Traveling with a 3 yr old and a 17 yr old i wanted to book somewhere where the host meet you and gave you recommendations etc on the area.
I kept the host informed of my movements at all times. When i arrived at the airport. When we were on the bus and finally the vaporetto. I arrived at the stop where you are usually meet in the pouring rain at 19.50. No one was there to meet us. Taking out my phone to call the host only to find that she txt to say to say she had gone. In the msg were directions to a restaurant to meet a guy who would show us to the apartment. I was not happy. The host then asked him to come and meet us at the stop as i was not happy. He did so. Brought us to the apartment. So if you are booking this apartment because of the host she does not meet people after 7.30 it seems not 8 as advertised.
The host was rude. She saw absolutely nothing wrong with txt these directions to a restaurant to meet someone 10 mins before we landed on a completely miserable night with a 3 yr old. For the pleasure of all this i was also charged €30.
On the plus side the apartment is clean. Location is wonderful. The different gondolas passing in the canal under the window is special. Especially when there is a serenade.
