This listing is a maritime experience for a maritime city, located in the quiet and untouristed east end of Venice. About 25 minutes walking to San Marco, there are numerous cafes and a couple of grocery stores within a 5-10 minute walk. Check-in was a breeze with a door code plus keys already in the room when we arrived.
The bedroom interior is distinctly nautical with two cozy bunks. Square footage is tight but excellent use is made of the space with lots of cubbies and other storage areas. In could see it getting muggy in summer, but in early March it was perfectly comfortable. The bathroom and common area are likewise economical on space but perfectly functional and well-equipped.
Overall, this was quite a solid value for the price given the Carnival dates. The reason this review is four stars rather than five is that there are some pervasive issues with the cleanliness of the unit. Trash was literally piled on the floor of the common area when we arrived and the fridge had leftover food clearly not cleared out in a week or two. More obnoxiously, the bathroom consistently smelled of sewage with the toilet wand visibly immersed in dirty water. Mary and myself are practical folk and rolled with it, but more sensitive travelers should definitely bear this lower level of upkeep in mind when booking. As stated, overall a solid value for Venice.
