A pleasant stay in Venice. Host was there to greet us. Location is excellent. Train station is within 5mins walk from the apartment, where you can take a quick train to Venice S Lucia. There is also a mcdonalds there and a nice cafe just downstairs with great opening hours. Nearest grocery store is Ali Supermarket with a wide selection of goods.
We encountered a few issues in the stay that were no fault of the host. When the fan is off in the bathroom it tends to accumulate a cigarette smell, possibly from neighbouring units or outside? We were not able to determine the source. It caused some headaches, lung irritation and we ended up using masks when using the bathroom. Wifi speed was slow at times, especially in the evening, we measured at 3Mbps down and 18Mbps up.
As for other reviews regarding drug use nearby, we were worried before booking this place but ultimately it wasn't a problem. I suspect it may have been a temporary issue. We never encountered this problem and felt quite safe. We didn't go out much in the late evenings anyway.
Overall a decent stay. Host was very friendly and accommodating otherwise.
