I cannot give this place a recommendation because there were simply too many things that weren’t OK.
When I arrived about an hour after the 2 pm check-in, I waited outside the locked gate for 20 minutes—I called and texted and received no answer -- the only way I finally got in was a person (probably the tenant who lives above the “entire apartment”) happened to be leaving the property.
This is not as advertised – Entire Home/apt in Venice. It’s actually a bedroom with a very old bathroom, no kitchen and the only running water came from the bathroom sink. Also, there is someone living upstairs who walked very loudly, sometimes during the night.
Half of the light bulbs throughout the place were burned out. When I went to take a bath and read my book, I had to forego my reading because I couldn’t see because of the poor lighting.
The coffee maker hadn't been cleaned and had old coffee in it.
When I reached out with a problem about the cable via texting and phone, it took quite a while to get a response from the owner. She did not answer the phone. I was finally able to get the cable working, but it only worked for a short time and then didn’t for the rest of my stay -- so no TV.
