The apartment is very clean and the host has taken special care to decorate it and make it feel very comfortable. He is also very caring, responsive, and friendly. The only problem was the very musty smell of mildew in the bottom floor. When I informed the host and asked if he could put a fan in the kitchen, he said no and offered for me to leave and cancel the reservation. I was not happy about this, but he did show up at the apartment later and explained that the smell is common in Venice with all of the water.
