My stay in Venice was pleasant. My stay at the property was a bit stressful. I received limited communication from the property owners and manager until the day of arrival. At that point the property manager began harassing me about my arrival time by sending me messages every few minutes and requesting I meet him someplace different from the website instructions for his convenience. He was very rude and set a negative tone for the start of my trip. The property, located down a narrow dark alley, was very close to key sites as advertised. Inside it was very dark (w/lights on), moist, and not very clean. Due to the lighting, it took me several days to notice holes in the walls, things that were broken, and mold growing in corners (I took a few photos that I am happy to share with the owner). The furnishings, while dated, were adequate. Definitely read prior reviews about the bathroom! It takes some adjusting to but you can make it work.
