We were not able to meet the host since he was overseas during the time we were there. We had a bit of problem with the late checkin as we were confused with the unit number and we could not contact the host immediately due to time zone difference.
The unit itself wasn’t cleaned when we came, which I understand as the host was away and might have been busy preparing for his trip. But the room was okay and made up. In addition, I am not sure if the tourist tax collected from us was correct. It was 3€/night/person, which is a lot higher than other tourist tax from other cities in Italy we’ve been to.
The location is perfect if you are looking for something quieter than the busy Marco Polo. It is very near F.Te Nove water bus stop.
Had we met the host, I think it would have been a better experience (as I was hoping for tips and info about Venice). But nevertheless, it was a good stay.
