We were 3 people staying at Davide’s.
Things we liked:
- Location is great, close to everything you need to stroll around Venice as well as the vaporettos.
- Communication was prompt.
- The flat was clean and kitchen well equipped with cooking utensils.
- Davide met us in person for the check in and offered the address of a local restaurant to keep our suitcases after the check out (but we didn’t).
- Air conditioner was working and kept the place cool.
Things one might consider useful before booking:
- city tax is not included in the price - you’ll have to pay cash upon arrival.
- the flat is not too large, 1 bedroom, but has 3 beds (king size + 2 convertible sofas). For 3 of us was ok, but might get tight for more people.
- because we said we’ll use all 3 beds, we had to pay extra cash 15€ for ‘extra bed’’ even though the flat is advertised as hosting 7 people. And that was an exception for us apparently, otherwise 15€/per each night if 3 people use all 3 beds available in the house. Davide offered to cancel the booking or accept the rules. We didn’t want to argue and spoil the holidays, but we didn’t find it very fair.
- Also note that the shower cabin is quite narrow but worked for us.
- Impossible to leave air conditioner on during the night. The noise from the ‘exhaust pipe’ is too loud especially in the bedroom.
- No mosquitoes nets, we visited in August when mosquitoes are everywhere in the city. We had to keep windows close at all times and without air conditioner at night because of the loud noise it made. Good Davide provided an electric anti mosquitoes liquid to plug in during the night.
