We were very disappointed with Antonella’s hosting.
We are an elder couple. The top 6 or 7 stairs to the bedrooms have no hand railing and are not a uniform shape, as such it was very dangerous for us and our cousin to go downstairs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.
There is also a steep flight of stairs from the street entrance to the living room with no hand rail at all. The pillows were like sandbags and two of us awoke with stiff necks in the morning.
The air conditioner in the living room area leaked a large quantity of water all over the floor and a table and lamp. Daniele came to mop it up then spilt the water in the bucket all over another area and had to clean that up. It was during our dinner which was a bit disruptive. When I went to use the bathroom there was water on the floor which I didn’t see in front of the door and I slipped.
When we first arrived at the vaporetto I sent a selfie photo to Antonella so Daniele would recognise us. She didn’t bother to share it with him or send us a photo of him, hence we wasted close to 30 minutes waiting for him as he stood waiting for us to arrive even though we were there the whole time.
A handle on the refrigerator door is broken off and the toilet brush was broken. After we arrived he took another half hour explaining all the rules. It made us terrified that we’d do something wrong and be charged! There were dirty dishes in the cupboard.
You are meant to take your own trash out to a boat for that purpose, but it was unclear as to where the boat was and the hours very constraining on the weekend.
The entry door is a bit tricky to unlock. From the inside as well as outside.
The good things: There is a wonderful green grocer right next to the vaporetto landing and a Coop not that far away. The rooms except for the 2nd bedroom are spacious. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils ( bring your own potato peeler).
This is not an AirBnB we would book again. I myself am an AirBnB host and this listing was not up to my normal standards.
