We have stayed at AirBB homes all across the globe and this is the hardest review we’ve ever had to write. Ilaria and her husband were among the best hosts we have ever had. They were extremely kind and helpful and went out of their way to try and make our stay enjoyable. The views from all windows were directly overlooking two intersecting canals and for the most part, accurately depicted in the photos with one major exception. The photo of the living room shows a fairly unobstructed view of the canals but there was a large metal lattice which in the AirBB photo was open but when we were there, the lattice was closed and locked which pretty much obstructed most of the view.
It was a pretty good location but the nearest vaporetto (water bus) stop was about half a mile away and about ¼ mile to a grocery store. I guess I might be overly picky comparing this place to several that we’ve stayed at in Rome.
The most disappointing thing was the second “bathroom”. Aside from it having the world’s smallest sink and no counter space, the toilet and shower were in the same small room along with what I believe was the water heater. With the shower curtain closed, there was less than 18” between the wall and the curtain and it was impossible to take a shower without the curtain draped over some part of your body. They did the best they could but this was essentially a utility closet conversion. And it rained one day during our stay when our hosts informed us that any time it rains, the drains don’t operate very well.
All things considered, it wasn’t a bad place to stay but at $370/ night in November, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.
