Mara’s place well located and tram service to Venice is just steps away. Although overall the place was clean, there was a strong smell of mothballs or insecticide as soon as I stepped in. Then when I ran out of toilet paper after 2 days, I asked if there were any spare rolls somewhere in the apartment. She replied saying that they don’t provide after the ‘first necessity’. My stay was only 4-5 days and I didn’t expect to have to bring my own toilet paper. The big issue was after 3 days of drinking coffee using the kettle in the apartment, I found out there were lots of white remnants at the bottom of the kettle that I have been drinking with my coffee. Mara explained it was just limestone deposits and it won’t kill me. But on the 4th day, I really didn’t feel well in the stomach maybe due to the smell of the room or the white stuff, and decided to check out of the place one day earlier than expected.
