First of all the flat's location is perfect, situated by a beautiful Venitian Canal, one can enjoy all the best restaurants and galleries within a 15 minute walk. it took us just over 10 minutes to walk there from Saint Lucia Train station and the directions given by the host were precise and correct.
In the building, there is a lift which can be helpful if you happen to bring a big suitcase.
When it comes to how the flat is equipped, there are few things which can be improved such as a broken corkscrew or only one wine glass available (?). These are however quite small things as we ate out anyway.
Whilst taking a shower the seals are leaking leaving quite a significant puddle outside which, because of its positioning is then leaking to the amenity room right next to the bathroom. This can be sorted by putting two towels close to the shower but be careful when you get out!
Communication with the host was on point and we'd give her 10/10. It was especially useful when we needed to contact her because the following happened... Wi-Fi signal in the flat is bad and keeps dropping every 2 minutes which is fine because we were out anyway. I did however, try to fix it and reset the router. To access the router we had to move a white leather ottoman behind which we found a naughty surprise... Considering the nature of Venice I'm sure a lot of people travel there with their partners so let me tell you that it's not ideal to find previous guests Victoria's Secret pair of sexy lingerie, especially whilst it's your anniversary holiday! #dodged #it
We found it quite ironic that there's very strict instructions how it's guest's responsibility to sort the bins out, yet they didn't clean used underwear. After contacting the host it got sorted quickly.
Overall a pleasant stay yet I've had some explaining to do!
