Another bad experience in Venezia/Venice, the first being Hotel Allafava showing images of a far bigger room that actually given, here at Stefano's i was told that he had moved me to another place (warning sign right there), which was in itself difficult to find, through the maze of streets which is a frightening experience for a newcomer, not least because GOOGLE MAPS DOES NOT WORK IN VENEZIA - the pointing arrow literally shows the opposite way!) . Fun the first 30 minutes but then turns into suffering when You're tired and hot and just want to have a bed to lie in.
Finally finding the door at the end of a dark alley hidden from street view, finding several keys as instructed outside but none with the host's name on it(!) and jerking it around for a few minutes to get inside the stairway, where the treasure hunt continued for three different loose keys for the actual apartment, then walking to third floor of a small staircase, to an unmarked door where none of the three keys fitted. (!)
It was two hours since i had booked, and thus i gave up in anger and walked away. The host's response to my frustration over sms: "i hope that you put the keys back". Of course I did.
Then i booked into the first big hotel i could see, twice the price but at least i got a room without any more frustration.
