Our host - Patrizia's husband Carlo - was welcoming and very helpful. The flat was tidy and clean, and well-heated. The kitchen / dining area was spacious and well stocked, but the rest of the apartment was quite small and cramped. The (comfortable) futon, which is the only bed, could not be left open, as there was too little space left to move around it, and nowhere else to sit except the kitchenette chairs. The bathroom was also very cramped, and without a proper shower (no bathtub either). To shower, one has to enter the bathroom, close the bathroom door, then extend two folding shower doors in the passageway - one blocks the bathroom door and one blocks the rest of the bathroom. A stern warning was posted not to let the water leak out of this "shower" or the guest would have to pay for damages to the premises downstairs. It is also important to note that the flat does not have it's own Wi-Fi, but relies on the signal from the café downstairs - which was only strong enough if standing just inside the front door, nowhere else in the flat. The flat has a tendency to be dark, and there are no "views" from either the window in the salon or the window in the kitchen. The "bath" towels provided were not much more than the size of hand towels. The flat is in a very convenient location, close to the train station and only steps from the main walking route that links the train station with Rialto and San Marco. Patrizia and Carlo lived in this flat as students, and it is convenient and suitable to a couple of young travelers. We are a little older, and spoiled - we moved to this flat after spending 7 nights in another Airbnb flat in the same Cannaregio district that was about the same price, but was very light and airy, had views directly on to a small canal, a large outdoor terrace, two large bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with a proper shower and one with a bathtub, luxurious bath sheets/towels and terrycloth robes), a separate salon/living room with two couches, its own Wi-Fi - in short, plenty of room to make ourselves comfortable for a more extended stay. We would still recommend this flat for a short visit - it has whatever one might need, albeit in a small space.
