We were told to meet the host after getting off the water shuttle. Only after we were on the shuttle, did we realize that we could have easily walked and saved a lot of money. We were not that happy that he did not provide us with other options.

We were met by another woman who took us to the place. There is a gate in front, and then you open this shed door and get taken down this DARK CREEPY TUNNEL. The light when you walk in is broken. You then OPEN this SHED DOOR, and viola. There it is. It LOOKED nice. Just as the picture shown. Everything was white and LOOKED clean. As soon as she left, there was this nauseating smell that never left..like really strong mold/mildew. (And I've stayed in run down apartments, but this was bad).

That dark bedspread pictured had stains on it, like dried white mysterious stains.... And when we peeled that away to sleep in the sheets, it just FELT grimy. May have been in our head, but the comforter stains were there. They also had a laundry machine, but no detergent. We had to buy our own (but we left the rest for the next guest).

Also the shower door is broken. It does not close and water leaks everywhere.

Also, if you put this address into google maps, it takes you to a different location. When we got lost coming back and contacted the host, he provided us with a nearby restaurant.

Anyway, although we loved Venice, we didn't wait to leave. We even considered trying to find another place to stay.
