Pros: The house has an excellent location near the train station, water buses, grocery stores, and shopping. Easy checkin and the house was clean and organized. The bathrooms were clean and stylish. Having a dish washer was convenient since we cooked most of our meals. Overall, a very well decorated apartment with a central location.
Cons: The loft area is a problem. I've stayed in loft apartments before, but this one was really not comfortable. My mom and I rented the place, so she slept in the bedroom area and I had planned to sleep in the loft. I'm tall (5'8") but the lowered ceiling wasn't the problem, it didn't bother me at all. The issue was the huge step (a foot and half) from the landing to the actual loft area. When getting ready to get down from the loft, I realized that I had to sit on the step to even get down since there's no hand rail to assist the very large difference in steps. At night, I was scared I might injure myself trying to get down even with my long legs. I told the owner that I wasn't comfortable and would sleep in the living room. The glass steps up the landing tti the loft are fine (although it leaves very little privacy between the loft and bedroom areas). In the living room, half way through the night, I couldn't take the sofa bed any longer (wiry, thin mattress), so I folded it up and just slept on the sofa, where I slept for the rest of the 3-night stay. My mom said the main bed was not very comfortable either compared with the airbnb from Rome we just had. Generally the place is fine but lacks a number of basics: no waste bins in the bathrooms, no kitchen utensils for cooking (ie. spatulas, serving spoons, etc), no basics for cooking (only salt, no pepper or olive oil), only tea but no coffee, no kitchen towels. I've stayed in dozens of airbnbs so I've come to expect some of these things as normal. I also stayed in an airbnb for my previous trip to Venice and that one had everything. I think for the price, it should have included these basics. Also, while we were out for dinner, the owner asked to come into the apartment to get something, which made us uncomfortable since we're two women and it was past 6pm and he stated he was already outside the door. When we came back nothing look disturbed, but it wasn't a request that made us feel okay since all of our belongings (money and passports) were out.
