We (party of 5) stayed in the apartment to explore Venice. The upstairs rooms were clean and well lit - the rooms were large and very nice. However, downstairs where the main living area is needs serious renovations. The plasters were coming off the walls, and many lights did not work. Either the power point on the wall is broken, or the light bulb is broken, or there are no light bulbs at all. Very disappointing as we ended up sitting in semi darkness. We did inform the cleaner who was still there when we arrived, and the host on the first day. It was promised that the issues would be fixed but nothing happened for the duration of our stay. The location is also a 15-20 min walk from San Marco or Rialto bridge, and there wasn't a lot of food options around.
