Accuracy: The description states that the apartment had been refurbished and is equipped with all that's needed to cook. That’s not entirely true.
- Cookware in Marta’s kitchen is old, pots and pans are scorched.
- The bedroom is nice, the bed comfortable and the bed linen new and clean.
- The bathroom could use a little renovation and extra amenities, such as a towel rack, shower caddie and carpet (the floor is super cold).
- It’s great that Marta’s apartment has a washing machine (very useful during longer stays).
- Finally, the walls in the building are very thin - if you are easily awakened by noise, you are not going to be happy. I could hear the entire conversations on the other side of the wall.
Communication: Marta is great when it comes to communication. She has sent me a very detailed instruction on how to get to the flat from the airport. What I found a bit strange was that Marta texted me on Whatsapp instead of using Airbnb.
Cleanliness: The apartment was clean for the most part, but the closet was a bit dusty and there were several spiderwebs around the place.
Location: I came to Lido for a conference and personally really liked the location. It’s a quiet area with almost no tourists, easily reachable by bus during the day. The view from the kitchen is lovely.
Check In: Super easy since Marta leaves the keys in a lock box with a private code that was provided one day before arrival.
Value: I personally think that the apartment is overpriced for what you get. I stayed at a different apartment in Venice later during my stay and paid the same amount for a much better flat.
