This apartment is in a very beautiful and quiet section of Canareggio, and would be good for a long-term renter who needs a kitchen quiet base in Venice. For a short-term visit, it is not ideal. The building itself is difficult to find- it is half a block behind a "private property" sign on a large metal gate that looks like it is locked but isn't. The building itself was completely scaffolded and thus looked like a construction site, making it even less apparent this was a safe building to stay in. Once you go upstairs to the airbnb, it is clean enough but with zero amenities and a very strange bathroom (broken marble in sink, inscrutable flusher on toilet). All this looks very different than the listing. Massimo was very nice but also did not respond to messages in a timely manner, which also added to the difficulty and confusion of staying here. This is my fourth time to Venice and I don't expect luxury; even then, this felt very challenging. I wouldn't recommend the listing to someone new to the city, only to an experienced traveler to Venice who just needs a quiet apartment for a longer time that they can fill themselves with cooking equipment, food, bathroom supplies etc.
