We were grateful that our stay was a short one as the place was really in a state of disrepair, and not quite like how it is presented here. The bathroom was very unclean with what appeared to be stagnant viscous urine in the bidet, soap residue left in the soap dish, and the toilet paper roll left with nowhere to go due to its holder being completely broken and removed from the wall. The damp muggy smell of the bathroom made it hard to tolerate for any amount of time despite the ventilation of a tiny broken window being permanently propped ajar.
At first we thought there were no dishes, but we found them in the dishwasher. We didn't use them, as we wanted to minimize the amount of time we were at the property. The furniture in the main living area is also in a state of disrepair. They did have a hair dryer though.
The layout of the property was quite awkward, with only 1 "private" bedroom. I use the word private loosely, as the curtains don't actually close in that room (if you stay here, you'd be wise to bring a clip of some sort to hold the curtains closed with if you want privacy at night).
The access to the main bedroom is through the other "bedroom" which has no doors (aside from the door to the main bedroom). For this reason it might be more accommodating to a family with kids rather than 2 couples, which was our mistake. The pillows were akin to sleeping on pizza boxes, and the art on the walls in the bedroom are likely the cheapest canvas prints money can buy and is pretty much the only decor you'll find. The whole place is made for the photos in the listing rather than the experience of the guests and we won't be staying with this company again.
The disappointing thing is that we had found a negative review on Orbitz for this property from a long time ago which outlined all of these things that are broken but had assumed they'd have been fixed by now, but they are not. We should have heeded the warning of the other review, and found another place to stay in Venice. It's a shame really, as with a fairly minimal amount of investment in fixing this place up it could be really nice.
