Overall, Chiara's place is an adequate value for the price (we paid 87 euro/night plus cleaning fees and 4 euro cash per person taxes per night), especially if you're only staying a night or two—and don't intend to eat anything at the apartment. I personally would not stay here again (we stayed four nights). We stayed in another similarly priced/situated apartment on the same trip to Venice that was drastically better. I'll list the pros and cons of this place below.
PROS:
-Great location and despite being in a busy area, it was just far enough off the main road to be very quiet
-Felt safe
-Wifi worked well
CONS:
-WEAR/TEAR: Apartment has seen a good deal of wear not shown in photos. Some furniture is missing/different/damaged than in photos. Walls are damaged and somewhat dirty.
-NOISE: The walls felt paper thin. Easy to hear neighbors entering/leaving the building right by the living room area and their conversation when they were in the neighboring apartment. It felt uncomfortable to converse as a result because of possibly disturbing neighbors. If you are a light sleeper or disturbed by such things, it may not be for you.
-KITCHEN: Not well equipped for cooking. Cooking utensils and pots were minimal (no pans) and lids were mismatched to available pots. No wine glasses. Generally not great if you like to cook and want to take advantage of the local markets. No oil was included although it was listed as an essential (there was an empty oil bottle in the cabinet but not enough to use). Also, *no microwave* so reheating food is also difficult. No paper towels, no extra trash bags, etc.
-BED: not very comfortable.
-COMMUNICATION: We've stayed in a lot of airbnbs/vrbos etc, so I'm comparing this to that. Communication was poor. We had to initiate to find out check-in info the day before (and also to let her know we had checked out). Check-in and house rules were somewhat unclear and inconsistent. She never collected our passport info, which I believe is local law. Chiara did respond fairly quickly when messaged.
-SMELL AND FEEL: the apartment had a musty smell. The windows and shutters couldn't be kept open comfortably often because of being on ground level and there were often people eating nearby and pigeons would land on the windowsills. Also, when you leave you're asked to close the windows which resulted in a cave-like feel/smell upon return. The bathroom often had a pretty strong odor.
-Small thing, but we just didn't feel welcomed. Don't expect a note to say hi, a list of local recommendations, or a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge to enjoy upon arrival. Any one of these gestures would have made a difference. :)
