We booked this place a month in advance and were excited to stay there, but it really failed to live up to expectations. A few weeks before check in day, I asked the host if it was possible to check in earlier than 5pm, but he never answered. Then, the day of check in we were told from an automated message that the host would send us a code to get into the cottage at 5pm, but he never did. So then we were going back and forth with Airbnb for about 2 hours until we finally locked down a place to stay 30 minutes away from the Venice (so much for staying by the beach). Would’ve been nice to see what the inside looked like, but unfortunately we never got a chance because of the entire lack of communication.
