Overall, this was a decent stay. The location is great as it is close but not in the heart of all the tourism. There is a nice square very close by with pizza, gelato, and restaurant. There is also a water bus stop very close as well.
The check in process was fairly easy but a little hard to find if you’re not familiar with Venice. The apartment itself has two big needs: a little facelift and a good deep clean. The apartment seemed a bit cluttered and unintentional in the decor. There is random stuff everywhere in the drawers and closets. The walls are in desperate need of paint as there is a bunch of scuffs and marks everywhere. Just sitting around in the place feels like you are sitting in a rundown place. At a surface look, everything looks pretty clean, but look a little closer and it is not. Some of the dishes were dirty in the cabinet, the refrigerator still had crumbs and such from previous guests, the bathrooms had hair left around, etc. The second bedroom had a storage that had not been cleaned in months—actually disgusting with hair and other nastiness. Just needs a professional deep clean and then maintained after. The water heater was not turned on so no hot showers on the first day. There was a loud and almost constant squeak coming from the laundry closet.
All-in-all, it wasn’t a terrible stay but it was not the best stay of our Italy trip either. Next time we are in Venice, we will find a new place to stay.
