You win some and you lose some. We lost on this one. First off, I completely understand that it’s Venice, but it was going to cost €50 for water taxi to the place. So we walked 15 minutes with luggage. We had two gloomy and kind of dark days so it made the entrance to the apartment very dark and didn’t feel the safest. Once inside the first hallway is not lit, after searching we found a timed light switch. You have to hit the switch every time you come out because it’s so dark. Once inside the apartment, the dryer was running with laundry from the previous tenant and it smelled. Light switches were hard to figure out which lights they controlled. Living room “furniture” (coffee table, Wi-Fi router shelf) were display stands from stores with food/snack labels on them. We just tried to explore as much as we could to stay out of the room as long as possible. We will stay somewhere else next time.
