I didn't have the best experience with this AirBNB. Let me first say that I am a little OCD about cleanliness and was in a lot of pain due to a back spasm.
Let me also say that Beatrice was great with communication beforehand. She was very patient with my getting lost on the way to meet her sister, and talked me through the maze of Venice. And when the hot water went out during my stay, she immediately had a repairman out to try to fix it.
That said....
1. I had a medical issue during my stay and needed a doctor to come treat me. Beatrice seemed to become a little alarmed when I told her a doctor was coming over. She said I should lie to him about who I am because she didn't give my name to the police. She said this was to get around some Italian laws. I would think that AirBNB would be sure that all rentals are legal, but I guess not. I felt uncomfortable about renting the home under the radar.
2. Despite rules about no shoes in the house and her request that I wear some slippers she provided, to me the house is not very clean. No dust on surfaces, but some black stuff came out of the shower and everything was just kind of old and seemed to have a light film on it. Again, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, I was shocked to reread the reviews that said the property was clean.
3. On my last day, there's no hot water. As I said, Beatrice was great and had a repairman come out to fix it, but it couldn't be repaired. I couldn't wash dishes or take a shower, and I felt very uncomfortable.
4. There was construction going on in the building, which means scaffolding, loud drilling, and piles of equipment and materials in front of the entrance.
All that said, the location is great.
