I'll start off by saying that the host was friendly, welcoming and answered most of my questions. There were plenty of water bottles, towels, and basic toiletries available. Lots of different restaurants and businesses in the area. About 20 min from Venice. Street parking only.
There were a few things that were off about this stay and one event that led to me leaving after my first night. When I first got to the place, the host met me outside, helped me to the apartment, and gave me a brief tour of the place. In the room that guests stay in, the locks are broken (at least mine was). To be fair to the host, her listing doesn't show bedroom locks so I should've expected this and prepared ahead. Monique tried to fix it in a timely manner but wasn't able to do so. She told me her boyfriend would fix it after work. The lock was never fixed during that night even though he assured me he would take a look at it later. I was a little concerned at first since the host leaves the front door wide open and only closes the screen door at night. They also informed me that there were other guests in the other room. The next day, when I left the apartment in the morning and came back a couple hours later, I noticed that one of my personal belongings was missing from my desk. Unfortunately, the only camera that is in the complex is at the front gate. Monique's lack of urgency to provide a secure place for her guests can be a huge deterrent for guests who travel with expensive items. Lesson learned: don't stay at listings with zero or broken locks. I had to leave the listing and look for a new place immediately.
There were a couple of other things that made the stay undesirable. The comforter that the host provided smelled like a wet cat mixed with bug spray. The towel she provided me smelled like it was just bought and not washed prior to my arrival. The window in the room would not close or is extremely hard to close. This would not be a big deal if there didn't happen to conveniently be a loud caged bird (not the host's) in the back area. The shower door is broken and can actually break off if you try to move it. The key to the front gate that was provided doesn't work so if you're locked out of the complex late at night or early in the morning, you're SOL.
If the host can fix these issues, the listing has the potential to be a decent place for visiting Venice or the surrounding cities.
