To Be Happy in Venice

The apartment was spacious and comfortable, and everything was very convenient. It was located within a short walking distance of both the train station and bus station, making it easy to travel to Venice Santa Lucia and the airport. Elisa was also very helpful and kindly guided us with the room and everything we needed during our stay. We really appreciated her assistance and hospitality.

We did feel that the neighbourhood was a little less comfortable and safe, particularly when walking around in the evening. This is something to keep in mind when choosing the accommodation.

Fantastic location. Close to train station, shops, eatery, chemist and everything you could need.

No air conditioning in bedroom. There was a fan l, but it did t help when there were 4 of us in the room. Lots of stairs to get to apartment and no elevator. Some warning would have been nice. Maybe I just didn’t read it

Three levels of security seemed complicated but was actually easy to use. Lots of space and refrigerator was huge.

Third floor was tough to get luggage up to but was far easier to depart.

The apartment was clean. Self check in was pretty easy (although the buttons for the pin pads need some getting used to, you hsve to go very slow). The property manager responded quickly. It was pretty quiet, with the windows were closed. Very close to the train station into Venice.

The space is not comfortable for more than 2 people/adults. The photos and space is advertised as having a king bed, twin bed, and sofa bed. There was no twin bed and the main bedroom had a couch and a queen size bed. They owner made up the sofa bed, but that restricted us from using the couch. The sofa bed was too soft and you sink into it. The main bed was comfortable though The bathroom is extremely tight. If you have long legs, you will not fit on the toilet. You have to turn sideways on it. As well as the sink. You have to open the shower door to use the sink to wash your face or brush your teeth because it is too narrow. The shower also leaks onto the floor near the door, so you have to keep an extra towel down. The AC did not work properly. We tried all possible settings. Even on the lowest temperature and maximum fan speed, it did not cool down the apartment well. It felt like it was on the lowest possible fan setting that barely moved the air around. We kept the blinds closed during the day so it didnt warm up. The temperature outside during the day was about 33C. We used the fan they provided to help cool it down, but it really only helped one room at a time. We really don't like to use AC too much, just a tiny bit, and it was too warm for us and difficult to sleep in those conditions. The area did not feel very safe to walk around at night, many homeless people and people just loitering on the street corners suspiciously, also drinking and littering. They charge a €40 cleaning fee and €4 city tax/ person/day. Looking at other properties in the area, this is very high, so Im not sure how they calculated that (similar properties were 1 or 2 euros per night). I asked for details and they gave me a general answer. I should have looked closer at this before booking, so thats my fault for not doing my research better.
