This was the sixth Airbnb my family stayed at in Italy over a four-week period in JUne/July 2017. Whilst the location is breathtaking and the living room a superb space, it's really a basic place to stay for a group who are happy to use the living area as a bedroom or a small family with a baby that's a heavy sleeper. The building itself is charmingly shabby and mostly residential. My husband met a neighbour one morning and was left with the distinct impression that tourists were not entirely welcome, which I completely appreciate. Old buildings need to be treated with respect and tourists aren't always so. It's not really an Airbnb, but run by an apartment rental agency, which made it a little less personal. When there was an issue with the wireless dongle, I would have had to go to their office near St Marks to exchange it, which was complicated given time constraints. The agency did, however, offer to book a taxi for me from Santa Lucia railway station on arrival but called back to tell me there was no taxi available for their rate of 60 euro but as I was on the phone a water taxi driver offered me one for 50. There was a instruction manual that asked that the kitchen be cleaned or an additional 50 euro would be charged, however the listing states a 50 Euro cleaning charge is included in the rate - very confusing. The main bedroom has a private outlook to the neighbouring roof line, however the light punched through with an insistence that's impossible to ignore in the hot early mornings making it impossible to sleep past 8am. The second bedroom had a king single/small double bed adequate for one person only. It would be a great place for a couple with a small child, perhaps, or a group of 3 singles (there are two sofa beds) and a couple. On the last night of three, my son was unable to sleep in the second bedroom because of a loud, possibly mechanical sound in the room. I'd heard it the previous night but he was too tired to notice. If you're planning on working, definitely inquire about reliable internet, as I ended up using my phone as the dongle provided by the agency was slow and frequently dropped out. Also, It's on some network that sent my email to my clients' spam folders for the first time during the whole trip, which may have something to do with the provider. This was a complicated place to stay - the washing machine was temperamental, the refrigerator froze fruit if it was too far in the back, the doors to the grand canal didn't close properly (which was fine, given the hot weather) and the power goes off intermittently (we were told it happens when the air con and other appliances are run simultaneously, but it happened when we had a light on in each of the bedrooms and...
