We stayed at Leigh and Stefanie's 'front' house in Venice for 3 nights with 2 kids over spring break 2017. It's in a sweet location- there's SO much to do nearby. Hip Rose St is an easy 5-min walk away. Communication was clear, and we found the hosts friendly and accessible. The laundry/towels/sheets situation was excellent, and it's great to be able to park in the drive.
The house is comfortable for up to 4 people. It's just very no-frills. We didn't 'need' much in the way of frills, as we were out and about 12+ hours each day, but the home was certainly made to look better in the listing. The outdoor space is tiny and in no way private; there are tall rental buildings (with up to 12 units) on either side of the small lot, and that brings with it a certain ever-present racket. There's also a second dwelling in the back yard. It'd have been nice to know those things; we may have selected another listing that offered us more privacy and space.
On the interior, the bathroom was ordinary at best; it reminded me of my college-boy days with 3 guys sharing a bath- very little storage space, dated fixtures and a certain layer of grime. The furnishings in other spaces are basic at best- it looks like a cursory trip through IKEA's low end was deemed sufficient to get the listing up and running. Again, there's nothing drastically 'off' here and we were still able to enjoy our stay- it just lacks atmosphere. And some of the photos must have been staged.
There was a steady beeping noise coming from somewhere in the house or on the lot- that affected our sleep all 3 nights.
All in all, a decent experience; the location is the key. My guess is it's priced higher than it should be by 20-30%. Maybe this is de rigeur in Venice; I don't know. But we've done airbnbs for many years and it comes in at the lower end of the value spectrum.
