Host was very quick to respond. Place is in a great location. It is a bit of a walk with luggage from where you are dropped off (~1 mile?) however you can take water taxi but we opted out as we were just getting familiarized with the area. Once you get to know it, I think you’ll be happy you got the location. There are quite a bit of places to eat and drink right outside the doorstep.
Only thing about this stay is that I was unaware that we’d be meeting the host. I was following instructions on how to enter the building from emails that I received. I did not have service on my phone so I did not get his message asking for our arrival. Our flight was a bit late and it was a little wait to get on the bus to Venice from the airport. However once we got in contact with the host, the process was efficient. Host talked to us for about 15-20 minutes and offered tips but we refused as we wanted to figure the area out ourselves.
I would stay here again. Building is old so floor does creek. But location is really great.
