Very easy stay with self check-in. I didn’t get in until late in the evening which worked out just fine. Very simple arrangement so no real need for communication with the host although I know they would be very communicative if necessary (simplest AirBnB experience I’ve had so far). I was there for business travel so didn’t get to take advantage of the good location with the beach and canals nearby. The building and apartment are on the older side I believe although they’ve done a nice job in trying to make the apartment feel comfortable. I think the value is slightly more in the proximity to the beach/canals than the apartment itself but a fine place to stay in Venice.
