We enjoyed our stay here. Beds were comfortable and the location was amazing. I’ll start with the good. The location can’t get any better. Close to the best local eats, while away from the dense tourist crowds. Yes, the confirm other commenters the alley way gets loud quite early as food delivery occurs for the restaurants below. The kitchen was well equipped and the TV had Netflix which was a nice touch. AC was a blessing in the July ‘22 heatwave however I can’t understand why they had it turned off prior to our check in so the apartment was scorching hot when we arrived and took awhile to get the temperature down to comfortable levels. I will note a few negatives though. I was disappointed by the state of the apartment. Surface level it was nice, refelected the photos accurately. However on closer inspection wear & tear in the unit and the furniture was apparent. The sofas and ottomans were filthy and stained which was off putting. The air filters throughout the unit, especially the bathroom, were covered in a thick layer of dust. The shower head looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. The beautiful floors had massive chips in them. It felt like the unit gets a quick surface clean between guests but it stops short of a deep clean. I also thought I had booked a ground floor unit. This could very well be my own ignorance not knowing that 1st floor in Europe is different than in North America however we had to climb 2 flights of stairs with no elevator. I’m pregnant and my mom is elderly with a heart condition so I was going out of my way to avoid stairs. There are are some small steps in the unit (really just a slight split level step) but it’s a bit of a safety hazard. Again, that’s the nature of older Venetian buildings but it is worth noting for mobility sake. Overall the pros outweigh the cons. I’d give it a 3/5 but because of the location and responsiveness of the hosts, I knock it up to a 4/5. Ultimately it was a comfortable stay but I don’t think I would stay there again if coming back to Venice. Thank you for the hospitality.
